| The Dahurian
Birch, in Latin Betula lenta, can be found more or less around eastern North America; also found in cooler areas in the
mountains of Georgia and the Southwest. It usually looks like medium shade tree, making it a beautiful plant In the summer, its foliage is more or less alternate, simple leaves, 2.5" to 6" long by 1-1.5" to
3-3.5" wide and in the automn it generally looks like reliable, uniform golden yellow color. The Dahurian
Birch (Betula lenta) has beautiful flowers that are blooms in April and the fruits it has are tiny winged nutlets (nearly 1 million per pound). It has a beautiful Bark, where we can find young bark reddish-brown to black, with large horizontal lenticels;
older bark black, plate-like on it. An important thing to know about the way it is cultured would be that best on deep, rich, moist, acidic soils, but can also be found on
rocky, drier sites and heavy soil However, a bad thing with the Dahurian
Birch can be that canker; can have a number of other insect and disease problems common
to birch, most not problematic We can easily recognize a Betula lenta having its bruised twigs have wintergreen odor; but taste sweet (B.
alleghaniensis tastes bitter). The Dahurian
Birch's propagation is done in a special way since it performs it by seed
