Tilia americana
Great specimen tree, basswood produces a straight trunk and valuable timber. Produces a showy profusion of fragrant, pale yellow flowers in late spring that attracts lightning bugs, feeds mourning cloak butterfly larvae, and produces an abundance of nectar that honeybees love. Prefers moist soils and does well in high pH soils with abundant limestone.
Protection from deer browsing is strongly recommended.
Sold as bareroot seedlings, 1-2' tall.
