American Linden 
Tilia americana 
The American Linden, or Basswood, is among 
the tallest of our ornamental shade and forest 
trees. Its clean, fast-growing, tall, and some¬ 
what spreading characteristics, coupled with 
large, round, pale green leaves and smooth, dark, 
gray-green bark, place American Linden as one 
of the best. 80 ft.

smaller branches droop slightly to add 
a touch of gracefulness to the tall and 
stately aspect of this all-round tree. 
American Elm can be used for any plant¬ 
ing purpose. It will grow in almost any 
soil and thrives in wet locations. 80 ft.
