TESCO LIMES

Lime trees all have similar fruits: a bunch of little balls attached on a slender stalk to a leaf-like bract


As they ripen, the bracts turn gold or brown in contrast to the heart-shaped leaves that are only just beginning to turn.


I took these pics at the majestic row of common limes in the Thornbury Tesco grounds.  Common lime is a hybrid of our two native limes, the large-leaved and the small leaved.   It is the most commonly planted tree in British towns.
