We Are Headquarters for Basswood Trees 
No. 1—AMERICAN BASSWOOD (Tilia americana) 
nsw. 90-100’ July. 
Any bee yard can use this beautiful shade tree 
that in many a lawn throws a good shade from that 
southwest scorching sun. Has large clean and waxy 
white fragrant blossoms hanging downward for 
days and weeks in July when the bees are busy. 
This tree is native in fourteen states of the Union 
and seems to adapt itself to growth in various soils 
except in a gravel subsoil. Dark loam seems to be 
where it grows native, though we have also seen 
full grown trees in real sandy loam with red sugar 
sand for subsoil. Basswood honey is famous for its 
mild flavor. Found from New Brunswick west to 
Assniboia and south to Georgie and Texas.
