Which tree blooms later than everyone else - interesting facts about nature

Once, as a guest in the middle of summer with friends, for the first time I saw the trees blooming at this time. In my garden, usually by the end of June, everything fades and the fruits are set. And here a huge tree was just strewn with delicate flowers, besides, they emitted a heady aroma. Can you tell me which tree blooms the latest? It just became interesting, and I wondered if I could plant such a culture on my site.

With the arrival of spring, nature wakes up: tender leaves begin to appear on bare twigs, and soon the trees turn green again. And towards the end of spring, the time for flowering comes. Both wild and horticultural crops bloom from April to June. At the same time, it was noticed that the pollinated plants bloom a little later, when constant heat comes, and insects become more active. But if they fade by summer, then some specimens at this time are just beginning to form buds. Adherents of traditional medicine know which tree blooms later than everyone else. This culture not only looks beautiful, but is also very useful and healing. It was the flowers collected in the summer that were used from ancient times to treat various diseases, in particular, colds. Are you wondering what it is? Let's not create an intrigue anymore - let's get acquainted with a late-flowering and healing tree.

Which tree blooms last?

The answer to this question will be unequivocal - in the middle zone of our vast homeland, of course, this is a lime tree. It is her fragrant earrings that bloom when the flowering period of all other plants is long over.

You can meet a linden tree almost everywhere, both in a forest belt, and in a city park or countryside. She does not impose special requirements on the place of growth, but she loves warm, fertile and moderately moist soil more.

Linden is a long-lived culture, moreover, of a rather impressive size. It is characterized by the following signs:

• the leaves have a beautiful heart-shaped shape with a jagged edge;
• when they begin to bloom, stipules appear at the same time, falling off after a week;
• a tree can reach 30 m in height;
• the diameter of the trunk of an adult linden exceeds 3 m;
• she lives on average 130 years, although colossus up to 8 hundred years old can be found.

On the territory of Russia, you can most often see the heart-shaped linden. It is also called small-leaved or winter.

When and how much does linden bloom?

If you decide to plant a linden tree on the site, get ready for a long wait. You can see the first flowers no earlier than in the third decade of the tree's life. Under natural conditions, the first flowering occurs 10 years earlier.

Blooms Linden in the last days of June or mid-July. Flowering lasts from 2 to almost 3 weeks, spreading a heady sweet scent in the area. At this time, herbalists just harvest fragrant inflorescences in order to make medicinal decoctions of them in winter. Also, flowers can be simply brewed instead of tea by adding a spoonful of honey.
