With a name like Tilia, it must be a bloomin’ great buy

TILIA CORDATA, the heavenly scented Lime tree that flowers in July, has been the staple of Big House avenues for generations.

And Tilia isn’t a bad name to give a house, especially as this native Linden tree can live a thousand years. It’s a good omen.

‘Tilia’ is a curvacious two-year build at Ballyard, Cobh, which hits the sales rooms in its flowering month.
