The Basswood Linden (Tilia americana) is a large, majestic shade tree admired for its broad spreading canopy, heart-shaped foliage, and graceful form. A native North American tree, the Basswood Linden is valued for its fast growth, excellent shade potential, and long lifespan, making it a beautiful and dependable choice.
Its lush green leaves create a dense summer canopy that provides generous shade before transitioning to soft yellow tones in the fall.
During early summer, clusters of fragrant, pale yellow flowers attract bees and pollinators, adding ecological value and seasonal interest to the landscape.
Hardy, adaptable, and low-maintenance, the Basswood Linden performs well in a variety of soil conditions and is well-suited to Ontario’s climate.
