Gray Birch
Description
Gray birch is a small tree, reaching a height of 20 to 30 feet. Its bark is grayish white, with little exfoliation compared to the river birch. Its leaves are triangular, with a narrow point, doubly serrated, and light yellow in the fall. The branches become reddish brown within a year, and a dark V-shape patch appears just below. The gray birch will grow in the poorest soils. Its wood is used for spools, barrel hoops, and fuel. Several species of birds feed on the seeds and buds.
