The stately lime tree is more common in avenues and large estates, and in town and city streets. The lime's attractions include its ability to grow quickly to a great height, a pleasing mid-green foliage, and a tolerance of repeated clipping. Its faults are a tendency to hide its lower trunk in a mass of side shoots and burrs, and to become infested by foliage feeding aphids.
