Silver Birch is a fast-growing, medium-sized broadleaved tree, characterized by white bark and pendulous branches. The tree is quite similar to the Downy Birch (Betula pubescens) but does not have hairy leaves and shoots. Silver Birch is widespread across Europe, from the Mediterranean to central Siberia.
In northern Europe Silver Birch is among the most commercially important trees , having a wide variety of uses. The tree’s pale-coloured wood is used for carpentry and in plywood production, as well as for pulp and firewood.
Some trees produce a certain curly wood used for veneer and smaller handicrafts.
It is a fast growing pioneer species, useful for reforestation projects and soil protection. The tree’s young branches can be used as fodder for cattle, while the leaves and bark are valued for medicinal purposes.
Silver birch is an essential component of temperate and boreal forests, where a large number of insects and fungi are dependent on its presence.
The species thrives on fairly fertile and well-drained soils and is able to tolerate a broad range of site conditions and poor soils; however, it is sensitive to long periods of drought.
