Limes become infested with aphids in summer and these cause sticky 'honeydew' to drip on to the ground or anything else! below. Caution should therefore be exercised when deciding where to plant this tree. Limes are reputed to produce the best honey and the flowers do attract bees. However, this large tree which has the RHS's Award of Garden Merit is really suitable only for the larger garden.
