    Note: Our Basswood were hit hard by Japanese Beetles earlier this summer, so their leaves look lacey; however, the trees will grow new leaves in the spring and be just fine.  Tree Talk does not use chemical pesticides.

    Pollinator value: Very high.

    A large tree with fragrant flowers attracting so many bees the buzzing can be heard several feet away.   The tree’s lower branches drape downward before sweeping up in a gentle curve.  The leaves are heart shaped and dark green, turning yellow in the fall.  Small, grey nuts appear later in the summer and persist until winter.
