Basswood must have been a popular tree for planting along Lafayette streets in the early part of the 20th century as you can find several quite large basswood trees along the street in older parts of Lafayette.
A typical habit of basswood is for the plant to send up shoots at the base of large trunks, so it's common to find a basswood tree with a shrublike growth at the foot of the tree trunk.
