Description

The American Linden (Tilia americana), also known as American Basswood, is a stately deciduous tree with a broad, rounded canopy and gracefully arching branches. It grows to a mature height of 75-90 feet, making it a popular shade tree for large landscapes. The tree’s heart-shaped green leaves create a dense summer canopy, providing cool shade. In early summer, it produces clusters of small, fragrant yellowish-white flowers that attract bees and pollinators, making it a vital nectar source for honey production.

A native species to North America, the American Linden is highly adaptable to different soil types and thrives in full sun to partial shade. Its smooth gray bark, turning slightly ridged with age, offers year-round visual appeal. The tree is fast-growing and relatively low-maintenance, making it an excellent choice for parks, urban plantings, and spacious home landscapes. With its dense shade, lovely fragrance, and ecological benefits, the American Linden is a standout choice for nature lovers and gardeners alike.
