Birch
Birches are divided
into 3 types:
white, black, and yellow. All birch trees thrive where conditions are
sunny
and the soil is well drained, somewhat sandy but high in organic
nutrients.
Birch leaves are usually wedge-shaped to nearly triangular, with coarse
teeth along the edges. Mature height of these trees can reach 12
to 18 meters. The roots will spread to a distance of at least twice the
tree's height. The Birch was used to flavor beers and sweets.
