Old video, but my understanding of the reason for the name lime is a perversion of line, the inner bark was used to make ropes lines and cordage back in the day and it creates a very strong and flexible cordage. I’ve got some of the inner bark somewhere, it’s great for making short pieces of cordage as well as long lines although I’ve never made rope!
Thank you so much for including info on the medicinal and psychoactive effects! Very interesting! More videos on plants please and include more info on psychactives like coffe, tea, ayahuasca, etc.!
This tree here in America, we call it a Little leaf Linden. They smell heavenly, the bees absolutely love them, so do moths & butterflies. You can use the flowers to flavor honey and your tea too.

I never understood why western peoples never mention lime tea (not the citrus fruit but this tree). I would imagine that a tea drinking country would know about lime tea, but noooo, it's a big surprise to everyone that you can make a good and healthy i might add cup of tea from some lime tree flowers (not all mind you).
Fir tree -albies alba- from Romania has a very strong scent compared to the same species growing in Ireland. I noticed the same thing with the Lime tree that is most popular tree in Romania for tea making out of the flowers. has a much stronger smell than what I've encountered anywhere else and I could say the same about the Horse chestnut tree and don't let me get into Black Locust tree cuz is same story. Before you say that maybe is just my imagination, the linden tree honey I tried in Ireland, seems weaker in scent and flavour than the one from Romania.
@Zee96969696 You're correct that they don't feel pain the way we do (which incidentally is a good portion felt and remembered in the spinal column instead of just the brain itself) But Mikeemoo's concern isn't /completely/ unwarranted, he is damaging the tree, in a way that could affect it negatively. (Of course he was doing so to try and show us something interesting about it -with the point being that it's difficult to damage. So I won't feel bad about it.)
I had no idea Linden was where Basswood came from! Great video. Out of curiosity, do you know anything about what causes the headrush you describe from smoking the bast? What the active principle at work there is - or rather, where I could find more information on the subject?
I think there is a common Lime tree on the local estate where I live. There is a wild flower garden on this stretch of the embankment but beneath the Lime tree, nothing much seems to grow. Is this common with limes? John Wantling, Rochdale, UK
Ah, I was wondering what stuff was coming from the tree in my drive. I figured it was some kind of sap which happened to get a lot of dirt stuck in it... time to go smoke it.
@cc3814 What do you mean? Of course he said lady-bird. In north american vernacular, we call it a lady bug (Canadians like myself, the Statesians and the Mexicans when they get them) but over in England, it's called a lady-bird as often as not. (My grandparents, who are from England, call them that)
I've watched all the videos about trees you have here on this channel. Know any other place where I could find more videos with Dr Markus Eichhorn? He looks and sounds a bit like christopher heyerdahl. :)
@superdau I'm afraid it was one of the asians. They are all over the place in EU and here in germany. Haven't seen an "original" seven-spotted ladybug for many months.
@LuckyxTurtle He wasn't implying that bees smoke to get high. He was implying that bee keepers are essentially drug pushers. That might be a bit of a stretch though.
@Zee96969696 - I should state, so you'll know the difference next time. Since you clearly don't seem to. When someone references the topic at hand, they make a new, but related remark. When someone partially agrees, they remark about where they agree, and where they don't. If someone just agrees, they are more likely to post to poster they agree with, saying so. If they were supporting the other poster there they would either say so to the other poster, OR make a refuting argument.
@Zee96969696 - I don't think you understood th nature of my comment. I wasn't trying to suggest he was seriously damaging it... Only that you just said "trees don't feel pain" amd left it at that, & I thought it was worth mentioning, that: just because they don't feel pain, doesn't mean they can't be damaged. Is my meaning/intention a little more clear now? & just to make sure you realized - I am not the same person as the first poster you replied to,
@Zee96969696 - You should seriously consider not being so rude, in the long term, it's not going to be a beneficial habbit socially. You should also, know the difference between referenced/related topics (what I was doing), partial agreeance, agreement, and support. Those are each different things. I was not, supporting them. I was speaking to YOU, about the relating topics. But if you'd rather be rude, than spoken to *shrugs* I guess some people just don't value conversation.
@mrteemumilto I hope you aren't serious. The number of spots won't change with age. I hope this beetle wasn't an asian lady beetle. They were quite invasive over the last decade in Europe. If you see one it's likely he's brought family of thousands or millions.
@Zee96969696 Incidentally Zee, next time you don't understand, it's okay to say so. If someone is being polite, at least, as I am, they probably aren't going to judge you for it. Cussing people out, on the other hand, unlike admitting confusion, OR past confusion (if you understand something 'now' that you didn't 'then') just makes a poor case for your own ability to comunicate. Don't be spiteful, be honest.

Something about this tree videos that I just love.
I'm not even a plant person either.
About why bees love this tree - I remember reading an article last year about the nectar containing caffeine. I'll have a look for it in a bit
I will plant a lime tree as soon as i have a big garden. What a great tree!
My advice is don't bother they are such a pain
I always look forward to a new tree video from you. Thanks for posting them!
The flowers make a medicinal tea.
Thank you so much for including info on the medicinal and psychoactive effects! Very interesting! More videos on plants please and include more info on psychactives like coffe, tea, ayahuasca, etc.!

@Damianingus Yes. I think its spelled linden in US. According to wikipedia there are 30 species, maybe tea isnt made from all of them.
i like how he just says he has tried it before.. no shyness about trying to smoke a tree to see what happens.
Gets you high, does it? Off to the forest I go.
Great video! very informative

@DaRealFiberOptix
Ladybird is ok in the UK (and most other english speaking countries). Not only that, the "ladybug" isn't even a bug. It's a beetle.
i love the culture difference between the UK and USA
PLEASE do more tree videos

Its flowers make a wonderful tea
As an American I'm shocked to discover moris dancers are real.
@IAlternateMyCapitals thank you
@PartVIII we will
Lime is attractive to bees because it somehow produces healthier colonies. The reason is not yet known.
Fir tree -albies alba- from Romania has a very strong scent compared to the same species growing in Ireland. I noticed the same thing with the Lime tree that is most popular tree in Romania for tea making out of the flowers. has a much stronger smell than what I've encountered anywhere else and I could say the same about the Horse chestnut tree and don't let me get into Black Locust tree cuz is same story.

I didn't knew lime is a relative of the orange. Thanks.

I love tea from flowers of lime tree. mmmmmmmm tea
What happened to the small leafed lime tree to turn it into an uncommon tree when it used to be so common?
I love them' tree vidyas!!!
Any idea why it gives you a head rush? What chemicals are at play?
In trouble with people? Try the police carrying that about with u,plus advertising how to get stone in the forest lol. I'm liking this channel so far.
Lime trees like bees and bees like lime! They buzz around them all the time! That’s until they get hit,by a Morris dancer of low whit!!
What are other trees that are good nectar producers for honey bees?
Thx

Woke up to my lime tree being flooded with bees🤷 help! What should I do? I'm in the Caribbean
@cc3814 What do you mean? Of course he said lady-bird.

Maybe the Ash die back epidemic would be an opportunity to replant with Lime trees ? Do you think that Lime is more use to bees than Ash.?
Great video :)
So can you plant a bunch of these to fix the bee problem?
Today I found out bees get high on this tree. Came looking for info and find out we can too lol.
I've watched all the videos about trees you have here on this channel. Know any other place where I could find more videos with Dr Markus Eichhorn?
He looks and sounds a bit like christopher heyerdahl. :)
more information on smoking this tree? iv found no info anywhere else that even mentions it, are you sure ?
What does this type of "Lime Tree" produce?
This guy's accent sounds identical to del preston's from wayne's world 2
Is the lime tree what would be called a linden in the US?
@superdau I'm afraid it was one of the asians. They are all over the place in EU and here in germany. Haven't seen an "original" seven-spotted ladybug for many months.
Where can i get small leafed lime for my bonsai collection
@dondude69 AFAIK, it is most commonly called 'basswood' in North America,
It's called "Tília" in portuguese.
I could have sworn I heard him saw Ladybird.
It really is a luxury that nowadays you get mark zuckerberg explaining the natural world
@mrteemumilto Why would the number of spots correlate with age?
@LuckyxTurtle He wasn't implying that bees smoke to get high. He was implying that bee keepers are essentially drug pushers. That might be a bit of a stretch though.
@PurpleGhost Ah, thanks I didn't know. I thought I was just not hearing it correctly through his accent (I'm from America).
the willow might be a good subject for the next video
I wonder how many people will go out and try to get a high from lime trees!
Where did video 17 went(last one)?
Markus maybe got high of lime tree, but tell him to try lime tea and lime honey.
I thought I heard a chainsaw starting up at the end....
did anyone see the froghopper cocoon on one of the lime leaves?
please writte the latin name in the description
Can lime tree's grow in North America?... Specifically Ohio?
Thx
isn't it used to make relaxing tea (liden tea)?
@Zee96969696 - I should state, so you'll know the difference next time. Since you clearly don't seem to.

the bee goes Bzzzz
Looks like a good plant for DMT
i love how Markus seems disgusted by the question the camara man asked about the relative to the lime in his drink.
@cc3814 *Laughs*
I wasn't sure if you were joking or not.
Yeah, not a problem! :D I know, not everyone is used to English accents.
@piprod01 time to find them lime trees
Trees have feelings too! Stop stabbing it! ;-)
I'm actually a relative of the orange... biology man...
pwobly fwom yawup!

I thought lime trees are tall and thin
No they use limestone in your drink...

how long have you been sitting on this video? lol

lady bird? na its a bug
AHHHHHHHH.... using the tip to pry..... NOOOOOOOO

Manchester's lime tree's will now be smoked....
