Lime Tree Flowers

I want to know at what age do Lime trees (Tilia species) produce flowers/seeds? I have a few fine specimens at home about 2 meters in height, I was just wondering would they be producing flowers and seeds in the near future?

Which Tilia do you have?
Tilia seeds are notoriously difficult to germinate and have very specific and long dormancy issues that you will have to read up on.
As to the production of flowers and seeds, I would have thought that they would be mature enough once they are 10 years old or so, but do not have specific information to refer you to.
