Pollinator notes. American basswood flowers are fragrant and showy and attract a number of different flower-visiting insects, including beetles, flies, wasps, moths and bees. After opening, they offer pollen for a short period of time. Following this initial phase of the flower development, the flowers become receptive to pollen and, at the same time, increase nectar production.
They receive many visits in the evening from nocturnal moths, because nectar production often peaks in the late afternoon, providing an abundant supply in the evening hours.
