American Basswood 30-May-09 HIke




Walking further down the trail I heard thge call of a Red tailed hawk. I glanced up and looked through a hole in the canopy. I saw the hawk perched above looking at me. I reached for my camera and it was gone.

As I crossed a creek I noticed a tree with deep verticle ridges. When I looked at the leaves, sure enough it was a Basswood tree. The leaves are similar to Mulberry but the bark of the 2 trees are very different.
