I am a little confused about Basswood (American Linden) trees and their 
blooming.  I have several trees around me that as far as I can tell are 
all the same of kind of Linden tree.  When they bloom, the bees love 
them.  However some have a wonderful bloom, while others don't seem to 
bloom at all.  Are their more than one variety and I am not making the 
distinction between them?  If so, how can I distinguish them?   Or do 
they not bloom every year, or have male and female trees?   Any 
education would be appreciated.
