limes

Limes (Tilia sp.) are commonly planted in the town. Old specimens are usually common lime (Tilia ×vulgaris), but large-leaved lime (Tilia platyphyllos) and small-leaved lime (Tilia cordata) are also present, and are commoner among more recent plantings. The silver lime (Tilia tomentosa), its fastigate cultivar 'Brabant', and the Crimean lime (Tilia ×euchlora) are also present.

Single seedlings of the first two have been seen.
