Interesting Facts: The English name “lime” must not be confused with its homonym meaning “calcium oxide” (a building material produced from limestone, calcium carbonate), which is related to loam or slime and derives from an Indo-European root LEI- with general meaning “smear, glue” (cf. German Lehm “clay”).
Lime trees grow spontaneously in England and many parts of Europe, and can live a very long time, the longest living tree is recorded to be over 700 years old.
A
particular Greek myth speaks of a time when the gods, Zeus and Hermes, decided
to pay a visit to the land of mortals to see if they were behaving themselves.
In disguise, they knocked on many doors and found that no one would give them
shelter, eventually, they came to the house of Philemon and Baucis who welcomed
them. To reward them of their generosity, Zeus granted them their wish to remain
together forever after they died and transformed Philemon into an Oak tree and
Baucis into a tilia (lime tree) so they could be side by side. It is common to
find that oak trees and limes grow close to each other.
In Celtic time right up to the middle ages, the lime tree was considered sacred
and it was common for judicial cases to be heard while the court sat under a
lime tree as it was said to inspire fairness and justice.
Lime trees were planted by royal decree along many roads to ensure that the
harvest of its flowers was plentiful, as it was used a lot for its medicinal
properties.
Sitting under lime tree was said to cure epilepsy and other nervous illnesses.
