That sounds right. This raises some questions. Most of my parent's trees were lost to disease, wind damage, and wind-propelled salt spray. This tree was one of the few survivors. It hasn't lost any limbs. However, it's leaves are filled with tiny holes, and the web says in theory American Basswood aren't very salt tolerant. Should I plant more, or not?

It's pretty tall, with younger companions around it that are bushy rather than tall. These grow close by an older cherry tree that is in decline. I don't recall the young bushes blooming, but then, I'm not observant and have a poor memory besides. The older cherry leaves have similar structure but are much larger and of a more papery texture than these tough, shiny ones. What is meant by "the OPs"?

to guess height... put a 6 foot shovel against the trunk .. and retake the second pic.. a bit further away ... so you see the whole tree.. then use the shovel as a scale ... gets you pretty close ... though i doubt that info would be of any use here.. just a trick ... in case you are stopped in the street some day, and asked how tall a tree is... lol ..... have your shovel with you .. and can snap the pic ... BTW .. if the dog already ate them.. isnt it a bit late ... lol .. dog are pretty smart, about not eating bad things ... you cant really eradicate every threat to the dog ... there might be some odds... the fruit is or has fermented ... you might be better concerned if she has any alcohol tendencies... lol ... the leaf damage reminds me a lot of what i call fireblight on my older crabs ... but i dont think that term is correct .... but those arent crabapples ... ken

Yea ill post another pic as soon as i can. Also the backyard was recently cleared out within the past 2 years and a patio put there so we hadnt been back in the years before that bc there was so much bramble. but this year weve seen fruit drop, last year nothing!
