Basswood is a large tree with distinct, heart-shaped leaves, making it an excellent choice as a shade or ornamental tree. The soft, light wood is used for woodworking, woodcarving, and pulp. This species is highly valued by wildlife. Deer and small mammals may browse it in the winter. Birds enjoy its seeds, and cavity-nesting animals (like woodpeckers and small mammals) may nest in the tree. Its fragrant yellow flowers are enjoyed by many native pollinators as well as honeybees, making it a nice accompaniment for beekeepers.
Bareroot seedlings are 3-6".
