Tilia americana is a majestic deciduous tree reaching heights of 60 to 80 feet with a dense, rounded crown. It features large, heart-shaped, dark green leaves that provide deep shade, turning a soft yellow in autumn. In late spring, it produces clusters of fragrant, pale yellow flowers that are highly attractive to bees, earning it the name Bee Tree. This hardy species thrives in full sun to part shade and prefers moist, well-drained soils, though it adapts well to various conditions.
