This type is also called pubescent birch, or curly (fluffy). Its height is about 25 meters. The trunk of young trees is covered with brownish-red bark, which after a while becomes snow-white. Branches growing upward form a wide and spreading crown. This species is frost-resistant, and it also grows normally in shaded or swampy areas.<\/p>\n
To date, the name “white birch” is used extremely rarely, as confusion often arose because of it.<\/p>\n
Also related to this type:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n- Flat-leaved birch<\/strong>. It is also called Asian or Japanese white. It grows in Siberia, as well as in cold and temperate Asian regions (Japan, China, and Korea). Such a plant is quite often used for cities, and it is also often grown in adjoining territories. The most common varieties of this species are Whitespire, Fargo, Szechuanica.<\/li>\n
- American white birch, or canoe, or paper<\/strong>. Under natural conditions, it is common in Canada and the United States, and in culture, it is rather successfully grown in European countries. The species is distinguished by its unpretentiousness, it is drought-resistant, and also grows normally in wetlands. The wood of such a birch, which has a pale red color and is easily polished, is especially appreciated. The most popular varieties are Renaissane Reflection, Vancouver, St. Gerge.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
Also, among the many types of birch, the following stand out:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n- Red birch, or sweet, or cherry, or stringy<\/strong>. The species grow in North America. Its bark is almost black or brownish-red. The plant reaches a height of about 25 meters, while the crown of a young plant has a pyramidal shape. After some time, the crown takes on the shape of a ball, while the branches become sagging. There are clearly visible cracks on the surface of the cherry-colored bark. Differs in average resistance to frost, the variety can be used for cultivation in regions with a mild warm climate.<\/li>\n
- Erman’s birch, or stone<\/strong>. This low-growing tree reaches a height of about 15 meters. The most widespread species is in the Far East. The surface of the curved trunk is covered with a dark bark, which after some time cracks strongly. Such a tree is long-lived (up to 400 years), and it is also distinguished by its unpretentiousness.<\/li>\n
- Black birch<\/strong>. The species has a thick trunk, a height of about 30 meters, while it is thermophilic. The crown is openwork, the shape of the leaf plates is oval.<\/li>\n
- Dwarf<\/strong>. In nature, it is found only in the tundra, while it prefers mountainous terrain. The species has an external resemblance to a strongly branching shrub.<\/li>\n
- Karelian<\/strong>. The slow-growing tree reaches a height of about 8 meters, while it can look like a tall shrub. The species possesses very valuable wood.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
The Himalayan and Canadian birches possess snow-white bark. The fact is that it needs to reflect a very large amount of ultraviolet rays from the sun. Most of the birch species are frost-resistant. All thermophilic species are native to the southern regions.<\/p>\n

Birch is often planted on a personal plot or used for landscaping a city. She looks great both in solo and in group seating. And the tree also goes well with other deciduous ones, for example: with alder, willow, maple, mountain ash, or bird cherry. Birch is distinguished by its unpretentiousness and resistance to gas pollution in large cities. It is not uncommon to see birch alleys near busy roads, which act as protective belts.<\/p>\n
Since this tree is deciduous, a single planting will require a systematic cleaning of the area from loose leaves.<\/strong><\/p>\nThis highly decorative plant has a rich foliage color (the color changes during the growing season), a spectacular color of the bark, and an openwork dense crown. In rock gardens and Japanese gardens, stunted and dwarf species are often used.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
Every person who lives from the tundra to the subtropics knows what a birch looks like. Such a tree is found in the wild quite widely, while specialists have discovered more than 120 species. Most of these types are successfully used in the manufacture of furniture, as well as in the chemical industry.
