Betula papyrifera, commonly known as the paper birch or white birch, is a striking deciduous tree native to North America. It is best known for its distinctive white bark that peels in thin, paper-like layers, giving it a unique ornamental appeal throughout the year. This species typically grows quickly and can reach heights of 50 to 70 feet, with an open, airy canopy. Its dark green, serrated leaves turn a brilliant golden yellow in the fall, creating a beautiful seasonal display. Paper birch thrives in cool climates and is commonly found in northern forests, along streams, and in open woodlands. It prefers moist, well-drained soil and full sun but can adapt to various conditions. In addition to its aesthetic value, Betula papyrifera provides important ecological benefits, offering food and habitat for wildlife. It is also historically significant, as Indigenous peoples used its bark for canoes, containers, and writing surfaces.
