Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Commonly called Henry's lime, this very rare and slow-growing (20 to 75') tree was brought from China by E.H. Wilson, remarkable for the long, almost-hair-like teeth along the leaf margin of its lovely 5" heart-shaped leaves and loved for its late, summer into fall, ivory, deliciously sweet-smelling flowers.
