Tilia americana
American basswoods tend to grow in moist forests and lowlands. You will find this tree in the Park Ridge East forest, a little off the trail and up a slight slope. I like the heart-shaped leaves and sheer height of this particular tree, but I am most drawn in by the bark. American basswoods have highly textured, deeply furrowed bark which I find interesting to look at.
