White Birch

White Birch, scientifically known as Betula pubescens, is a deciduous tree native to various European and Asian regions including Altay, Austria, Belarus, and Belgium. This hardy species thrives in diverse habitats such as forests and woodlands, adapting well to light soil types ranging from sandy to clay. Known for its ornamental value with white peeling bark, the White Birch is also valued for its edible parts, which include flowers, inner bark, leaves, and sap. It can grow up to 20 meters in height and prefers full sun with a tolerance for dry, moist, or wet conditions. Its native range extends across Central European Rus, Czechoslovakia, and other regions, making it a versatile addition to gardens and landscapes.
