This tree is a fast grower and has pea sized seeds, I like it for it's flowers that smell amazing, but do not look like much. The heart shaped leaves make me feel warm to this one as well. The non-native little leaf linden's species name is cordata meaning heart. It is distinguished from the native by larger leaves and stature of the basswood and the harder seeds as well.
Basswood Tree Uses
American basswood timber has several uses due to its workability. Basswood timber is relatively soft and doesn’t split easily, and is a cheap type of wood for making furniture, wooden boxes, and cabinets. The American linden wood is also ideal for carving.
Basswood trees are also a source of high-quality honey. The rich nectar in the flowers attracts multitudes of honeybees throughout the summer. So delicious is the honey that it’s sold as basswood honey.
