Tilia oliveri
Also called Chinese White Lime
Tilia oliveri is a large deciduous lime tree from central and southeastern China, grown mainly as a street and park tree in temperate climates. It is a tree for open ground, not a houseplant, so the key is giving it space and full sun.
Tilia oliveri, the Chinese white lime or Oliver's lime, is a species of flowering plant in the family Malvaceae, native to central and southeastern China. It has found use as a street tree, and does well in the United Kingdom, but is not commercially available in the United States.
