Multistemmed tree growing to the right of the path.
This birch is
most known for its gleaming, white trunk and multi-stemmed habit. Native
to Canada, Alaska and the northern US, this birch is one of the most characteristic
trees of the northern woods. It has the widest east-west distribution
of all the native North American birches. The paper birch is a fine specimen
for use in landscaping in parks and large areas, providing attractive bark
and good fall color. They are moderate to fast-growing but, like most white-barked
birches, are short-lived in cultivation.
