Basswood/Linden Trees

Reaching a height of 25 m (80 ft), the deciduous linden, or basswood, is grown for its small, fragrant, yellowish-white flowers and its timber. The wood can be used for wood carving, cabinetmaking, and the production of wood pulp, while the inner bark is used in the manufacture of shoes, fishnets, and other items.
