Like the winter lime, up to 40 m tall tree, yellow-white flowers with numerous stamens and wing-like, membranous bracts that act like a propeller when the fruit falls off. Flowering time: June.

The lime blossoms, Tiliae flos, are used phytotherapeutically with the summer lime tree, as with the winter lime tree.
