| The Yellow Birch, which has for Latin name Betula lenta, i usually found close to eastern North America; also found in cooler areas in the
mountains of Georgia and the Southwest. It normally look like medium shade tree, making it a beautiful plant In the summer, its foliage changes to a new form, 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 Yellow Birch (Betula lenta) also has flowers being blooms in April and grows fruits, characterized as tiny winged nutlets (nearly 1 million per pound). An interesting thing is its bark, where we can find young bark reddish-brown to black, with large horizontal lenticels;
older bark black, plate-like on it. An interesting fact concerning its culture is that best on deep, rich, moist, acidic soils, but can also be found on
rocky, drier sites and heavy soil An inconvenient with the Yellow Birch can be that canker; can have a number of other insect and disease problems common
to birch, most not problematic You can recognize a Betula lenta with its bruised twigs have wintergreen odor; but taste sweet (B.
alleghaniensis tastes bitter). The Yellow Birch's reproduction is done in a special way since it will do it by seed
