Basswood leves and young fruits Basswood Tilia americana is one of about twenty species of Tilia. It is also called Linden, Lime or Whitewood. Basswood is a tree that grows in mixed hardwood forests. The leaf is about 10cm wide with toothed margins and it is shaped like a lopsided heart. The fragrant flowers are creamy yellow and they are clustered at the end of long stalks attached to the midrib of a narrow leaf-like structure. The fruits hang like little balls from this long papery leaf. The soft wood is popular for hand-carving. [CH] {NT}
