Birches
A birch is a tall, slender tree that has simple, unbranched branches. They are often found in moist areas near streams or lakes, as they are able to tolerate these conditions. Birches have a wide range of adaptations that allow them to survive in their environment, including large leaves that help to retain water, flexible stems that allow them to move easily in the wind, and small, rounded leaves that help to minimize water loss.
Examples of Birches:
Betula nigra: This is a large, deciduous birch that is found in North America.
Betula orientalis: This is a small, deciduous birch that is found in Europe and Asia.
Betula papyrifolia: This is a large, evergreen birch that is found in China
