The Tilia, also known as Linden, Basswood or Lime, is a genus of about 30 species of trees native throughout most of the temperate Northern Hemisphere. Soft, pliable basswood is widely used in model-making and intricate carving.

In Europe, Lime trees are known to have reached ages measured in centuries, if not longer. This tree is tolerant of air pollution as well as hot, dry conditions. It is a vigorous growing tree with a straight and very strong trunk.
