""Linden" and Lime Trees are not even distantly related."

It depends on which Lime you mean. If you mean the citrus Lime, you are correct. If you mean the tree the Brits call a Lime, you are incorrect.

en.wikipedia.org

But, what do you expect from a people who put a 'u' in color?


Interestingly enough, I have seen the tree called both a Linden and a Lime in the US. Its actually a nice tree with a good canopy although I think the Elm would have been better lining a street that leads to the Imperial Palace.

They got "Lime Trees" in the UK??? Had no clue Ted were British.
Interesting comment though, never too old to learn. A sign of IQ BTW ;)
