General Information:
Birch is one of the most useful, as well as one of the most graceful trees which has been known as the ‘Giving Tree’ and called the oldest tree in Britain. Throughout history, it has played a huge roll in humans and in the animal world.
Birch is a medium size, an eye-catching tree grows up to 40-60 ft tall. The trunk of this tree is slender and about 35-40 cm in diameter. The bark of this tree is brown, golden-brown, white or yellow, normally smooth in beginning but later this turns to white as a result of papery tissue developing on the surface and peeling off in flakes until the tree gets quite large. The white papery part of the bark is separable into thin layers. This characteristic employed as a substitute for oiled paper and applied to various economical uses. The alternate leaves are simple, wedged-shaped toothed and bright green in color, with pleasant in odor and bitter in taste. Leaves are collected in early summer and in spring.
How to use:
