Betulaceae - Birch Family
"A Year With the Trees" Tree No. 16
Paper Birch
Betula papyrifera
You can find this beautiful tree at the Botanical Gardens of Asheville. http://ashevillebotanicalgardens.org
Winter
Spring
Summer
Fall
Does anyone have any Paper Birch photos they would like to share? I will be heading out to take more photos and drawings of this amazing tree in the near future. It is freezing today and snowing; so I think I will wait till better weather, BP 1/17/18
The bark has papery-like sheets as it gets older. This tree has been used throughout history for writing. Birch bark scrolls have been found that date back over 400 years.
The Paper Birch tree lives in North Carolina and Virginia only in a few localized areas. It is mainly found in the Northern US and boreal Canadian forests.
For the love of the trees,
Becky
