Interesting Facts:It is the national tree of the Czech Republic and Republic of Slovenia.
Tilia cordata is widely grown as an ornamental tree throughout its native range in Europe. It was much planted to form avenues in 17th and early 18th century landscape planning. A famous example is Unter den Linden in Berlin.
It is also widely cultivated in North America as a substitute for the native Tilia americana (Basswood or American Linden) which has a larger leaf, coarser in texture; there it has been renamed "Little-leaf Linden".
A valuable monofloral honey is produced by bees using the trees. The young leaves can be eaten as a salad vegetable.
The white, finely-grained wood is a classic choice for refined woodcarvings such as those by Grinling Gibbons.
Myths and traditions:
Many myths, stories and traditions are associated to the tree itself going back
to Ancient Egypt Ancient Greece, Celtic times and the Middle Ages.
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.
In folklore medicine, because of its heart-shaped leaves the Lime tree (tilleul)
was dedicated to Venus, the goddess of love, and was said to cure all diseases
classified under the goddess.
