Description

Tilia americana, commonly known as American basswood or American linden, is a large deciduous tree native to eastern and central North America. It typically grows to a height of 60 to 120 feet and is known for its broad, heart-shaped leaves and fragrant, pale yellow flowers. The flowers, which bloom in early summer, are highly attractive to bees and are a prime source of nectar for honey production. The tree's bark is gray and ridged, and it produces small, nutlike fruits that hang in clusters attached to a leaflike bract. American basswood is often found in rich, moist soils in forests, but it is also planted as an ornamental tree in urban areas due to its dense canopy and shade-providing qualities.

American basswood has long been valued for its wood, which is lightweight, soft, and easily worked. It is often used in carving, millwork, and the production of musical instruments. Historically, indigenous peoples used the inner bark (bast) of the tree for making ropes, mats, and baskets. The tree also has medicinal uses; its flowers have been used in herbal remedies to treat colds, coughs, and fevers. American basswood is also an important ecological species, providing habitat and food for various wildlife, including birds and small mammals.
