Anyone know what this tree is?

Seriously, this tree is playing havoc with my ability to breathe. Anyone know what it is? I know it's a crappy picture, but my cell is all I had with me. Also this tree is in the Philly area, blooming now.

They are planted up and down the street as shade trees.

More than likely T. cordata or similar, then... Basswood is a 50'+ tall tree ideally suited to large open spaces.

But either still will cause you misery, I think. Take comfort in that they will be done blooming within a week or so. :)

mmm, what Lupus said...
we're currently dealing with the great blooming of the Northern Catalpas...
