*Because Linden tree do not produce lots of viable seed, under 8%. So there are not too many seedlings you can find under the tree. Many thought their seeds require 3-5 years of germination period.
*此種樹種子雖多,有胚的有效種子卻比率相當少,低於8%. 再加上自然環境下能發芽的很少. 所以有人誤以為要3-5年才會發芽.Once they are germinated, they grow fast without any special care! Small flowers but so many of them with strong nice fragrance. Linden trees flower in late spring to early summer. Great food source for bees. — My family and I have tasted Linden honey, nice flavour!但是一旦發芽後卻長得很快,容易栽種,不需怎樣特別的照顧. 花小而多有強香. 春末夏初開花,花開滿樹是很好的蜜源. –我嚐過的椴花蜜有很特別的滋味,家人都非常喜歡.
