(Tilia americana 'Redmond')
A more columnar variety of the traditional basswood, this tree is a perfect fit as a shade tree in a variety of conditions. Fragrant flowers in June lay the framework for some of the best varieties of honey. For maximum energy conservation, plant this sturdy native on the east or west side of your home. To prevent winter injury, be sure to provide trunk protection when young.
