This is a very sacred and important tree in the land of the Ladins, the native inhabitants of the Dolomite region who have been living there, with an intact tradition, since before Roman times. In valleys such as the Val Gardena they still craft beautiful, intricate sculptures from linden wood.
But the tree, which we know as a calming, soothing nervine that makes perhaps one of the most delicious teas imaginable, gets the most respect for being a tree of good counsel and calm judgement – as well as having a reputation for growing quite easily from root and branch cuttings. Prolific and soothing, a wealth of craft and magic – this is a tree we all should get to know well.
Thanks for listening!
