{"product_id":"american-basswood","title":"American Basswood (Tilia americana)","description":"\u003cp\u003eCommon in the \"Big Woods\" of MN. This resourceful tree often suckers to soak-up as much light as possible. These suckers develop into trunks making one tree into a colosseum of green. Distinct from many other trees in MN because it blooms in summer instead of spring. Insects adore and freely pollinate the sweet-smelling clusters of flowers that produce \"drupes\" (fruiting body) that helicopter to the ground with help of a sail-like bract before the tree's yellow leaves blanket the forest floor. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlant it in the deepest shade. Eat the leaves in spring and make a tea from the flowers. An amazing shade tree that is massively underplanted in urban and suburban spaces. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDrawing by\u003ca rel=\"noopener\" title=\"KING\" href=\"https:\/\/www.kelseykingillustration.com\/\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e Kelsey King\u003c\/a\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eText by Preston Drum \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProper Plant Profile Coming Soon...\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Northern Holler, LLC","offers":[{"title":"6\" Woody","offer_id":48642081358074,"sku":"TILI-AMER-02","price":10.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"#1 Woody","offer_id":48642081390842,"sku":"TILI-AMER-01","price":15.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"#2 Woody","offer_id":48642081423610,"sku":"TILI-AMER-03","price":20.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0806\/9929\/3946\/files\/Screenshot2026-04-11004744.jpg?v=1775886557","url":"https:\/\/northernholler.com\/products\/american-basswood","provider":"Northern Holler, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
