Black Birch | Betula nigra

Black Birch | Betula nigra

This really is a birch, but it doesn’t have a white bark.

Birches can grow into large trees. This is about 15 meters, but in the wild and in forests a height of up to 25 meters is quite achievable. The black birch likes to grow in moist soil. He just really doesn't like clay or acidic soil. Due to its growth habit, the birch is not really suitable for a narrow street. It comes into its own in a park.
