Birch Tree

Brief Description

Birch trees are known for their distinctive white bark and slender trunks. They have serrated leaves that turn yellow in autumn, and they can grow to heights of 30-70 feet. The twigs are often covered in fine, hair-like structures.

Care Instructions

Birch trees prefer well-drained, moist soil and thrive in full sun to partial shade. They require regular watering during dry periods, especially when young. Pruning should be done in late winter to promote healthy growth.

Medicinal Value

Birch has been used in traditional medicine for its anti-inflammatory and diuretic properties. The sap can be consumed as a tonic and is rich in minerals.
