HELP INDEX NEXT UP PREVIOUS FEEDBACK ATG Yellow Birch

Spray of Yellow Birch leaves Yellow Birch Betula alleghaniensis grows in mixed woodlands with maple beech pine and spruce. It is a bigger tree than White Birch and it has a darker shiny bark that does not peel so easily. The leaves are pointed oval in shape with toothed margins and the flowers are borne in separate male and female catkin-like clusters. The erect fruiting-bodies may remain on the tree through the winter and the small winged seeds are dispersed by the wind. The wood of yellow birch is used to make furniture. [CH] {NT}
