American basswood (Tilia americana), also called American linden, is a deciduous tree native to eastern North America, including Quebec. It can reach 25 metres in height and a trunk diameter of up to 1 metre. Its habit is broad and rounded, with a rounded crown in young trees that becomes more irregular with age. The leaves are heart‑shaped and measure 10 to 25 cm long. They are dark green above and paler beneath, turning yellow in fall. In early summer, it bears fragrant, pale yellow flowers in drooping clusters that are especially attractive to bees. The fruit is a small, hard nutlet attached to a characteristic leaf‑like bract that aids wind dispersal. American basswood prefers rich, moist, well‑drained soils and is often found in mixed forests and along streams in Quebec.

Furthermore, native lindens (Tilia spp.) are recognized as keystone plants for biodiversity in many North American ecoregions, as they support a wide variety of pollinating insects and birds that rely on their flowers, leaves, and seeds.

Medicinal and culinary uses
Young leaves can be eaten raw or cooked; they have a mild flavour and a tender, slightly mucilaginous texture, ideal for salads. The sap can be used as a refreshing drink or concentrated into syrup as a sweetener. The flowers, mild and fragrant, can be eaten raw in salads or brewed as an infusion. American basswood also has medicinal properties. A flower infusion is antispasmodic, diaphoretic, and sedative. It is used for hypertension, arteriosclerosis, anxiety‑related digestive disorders, colds, respiratory catarrh, and migraines. A tea or tincture of the leaves, flowers, and buds is traditionally employed for nervous headaches, restlessness, and painful digestion. Caution: Frequent consumption of flower tea may damage the heart. Always consult a professional before using any plant for medicinal purposes.

Ecological roles
American basswood plays an essential role in its ecosystem. Its flowers are an important nectar source for bees, contributing to high‑quality honey production. The tree provides habitat and food for many animals, including birds and small mammals. In addition, its leaves feed the caterpillars of certain Lepidoptera, thereby supporting local biodiversity.

 

American basswood seeds require cold stratification to ensure germination. See the growing notes below for more details.

Beautiful finish, but not for sensitive eyes
It has a very beautiful dewy finish on the face. I wish I could keep using it however it is not good for very sensitive eyes, causes extreme itching and watering to the point where I cannot open my eyes.

Just what we needed
I am in love with this sunscreen. My daughter has very oily skin and she has tried many other susnscreens. All of them cause her skin to break out except this one. She loves putting g it on and even says it’s “kind of satisfying to put on because it disappears instantly”. It’s been working great and she hasn’t been getting sunburnt. I would definitely buy it again!!

Great sun protection for high elevation!
Excellent skin care product for those of us that spend lots of time outdoors in the mountains! My dermatologist recommended this product, and it definitely has been protecting my face while cycling, hiking, kayaking, and just hanging out in the sun!

In most of all circumstances, this works
Style: SPF 50, Size: 6 Fl Oz (Pack of 2)
For Summer time and when playing and working in the sun, this is my go to sunscreen! I love how it is more natural than all the other ones out there. I have been sort of a spray on sunscreen connoisseur and this is the one that is my favorite. Also, if I have gotten a burn and put this on it, I believe it helps start the healing process on the burn I got. This is at least what I experienced multiple times last year. The only circumstance that this sunscreen fails miserably is in the Caribbean. I recently went on a cruise to that region and applied this sunscreen and it became evident that this and the other brands of spray on sunscreen do not work in Caribbean sun. The only sunscreen that works is the lotion based stuff that you rub into your skin. I have also consulted with friends on spray on sunscreen in the Caribbean and they all fail as well. So, this is why I say that it works in almost every circumstance.
