American Basswood
Basswood blooming.
From the Ohio Division of Forestry
American Basswood, also known as American Linden. is a native to all of New England and the Midwestern United States. American Basswood is a favorite tree of bees as they extract nectar from its flowers, making a very high quality honey in the process...The stately appearance of American Basswood makes it a favorite shade tree for large areas...American Basswood has perfect small, creamy flowers that open in early summer. Flowering is obvious from a distance-not because of the actual flowers but due to the showy, lime-colored, curving bracts that contrast against the backdrop of dark-green foliage.
