Gray Birch Tree

The Gray Birch (Betula populifolia) is a slender, fast-growing deciduous tree native to North America, known for its smooth, chalky-white bark and delicate, triangular leaves that flutter in the slightest breeze. Often found in disturbed areas such as old fields or along roadsides, it is considered a pioneer species, colonizing open spaces and providing valuable habitat for wildlife. Its graceful form and adaptability to poor soils make it a popular choice for naturalistic landscapes and erosion control.
