'''''Tilia platyphyllos''''' is a deciduous [[tree]] native to much of [[Europe]], including locally in southwestern [[Great Britain]], growing on [[Lime (mineral)|lime]]-rich soils. The common name '''Large-leaved Linden''' is in standard use throughout the English-speaking world except in Britain, where it has largely (but not universally) been replaced{{Verify source|date=April 2010}}<!-- or is it the other way around ("linden" replacing the original "lime")? Both terms seem to date to the Early Modern era, but "linden" seems to have been an adjective "made from lime wood" at first?! --> by the name '''Large-leaved Lime'''. It is frequently planted as an ornamental tree in parks, or as a shade tree or a lawn tree. It has been introduced in the US (New England).

It is a narrowly domed tree with a moderate growth rate, and can eventually attain a height of 40 m. The reddish-brown young [[Plant stem|stems]] later develop dark gray [[bark]] with fine fissures and furrows. The branches spread upwards at wide angles. The [[twig]]s are reddish-green and slightly pubescent.

The [[twig]]s are reddish-green and slightly pubescent.

The [[foliage]] consists of simple, alternately arranged [[Leaf|leaves]]. As indicated by its common name, this tree has larger leaves than the related ''[[Tilia cordata]]'' (Small-leaved Linden), 6 to 9 cm (exceptionally 15 cm). They are ovate to cordate, mid to dark green above and below, with white downy hair on the underside, particularly along the veins, tapering into a mucronate tip. The margin is sharply serrate, and the base cordate; the venation is palmate along a midrib. The pubescent [[Petiole (botany)|petiole]] is usually 3-4 cm long, but can vary between 1.5-5 cm. The autumn foliage is yellow-green to yellow.
