Betula. The Birches 



jHE Birches are distinguished for their elegant, graceful appearance, slender branches, light airy 

 and for the silvery white bark of some of the species. They endure a wide range of climatic con 

 and thrive not only in moist locations, but do well even in high , 

 dry or stony places. Are good for natural plantings, also for lawn 

 trees. The white-barked varieties make splendid contrasts when 

 planted in connection with evergreens. 



European White Birch. Betula Alba. (M). A quick-growing 

 tree that after a few years assumes a somewhat pendulous nature.

 tage when planted among Evergreens.
