linden

Heart-leaved shade tree

A linden is a deciduous tree with heart-shaped leaves and fragrant yellowish flowers, common in temperate regions and often planted along streets for shade.

The wood is soft and pale, favored for carving.

In American English, linden is the usual term; British English prefers lime tree: The boulevard was lined with lindens.
