The wintergreen-tasting birch is Betula lenta, Sweet birch. Your post is about Betula allegheniensis, Yellow birch. Oops. They're similar and both lovely but I realized later I had posted my comments about Sweet birch.<br /><br />Thanks for the welcome, I look forward to following you.Laurriehttp://laurries.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1600547016363116211.post-63650763631095325052010-10-19T12:27:17.880-03:002010-10-19T12:27:17.880-03:00Laurrie - Better late than never!! Welcome to my ...Laurrie - Better late than never!! Welcome to my blog. We planted 2 yellow birch this past spring and both appear to be doing relatively well. Although there wasn't any yellow birch on the property we do have white birch and another, possibly grey birch?, so I suspected any birch would do well where we are. So far so good.Margueritehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14377516887669269657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1600547016363116211.post-11882948240736260952010-10-18T12:44:51.945-03:002010-10-18T12:44:51.945-03:00I am late to comment here, but I have been wanderi...I am late to comment here, but I have been wandering around your blog enjoying discoveries. Great tree post! I absolutely love the yellow birch and have tried three times to grow it here in Connecticut. I lost all three saplings, but am going to try again. In addition to the lovely bark, the twigs taste like wintergreen!Laurriehttp://laurries.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1600547016363116211.post-7124831139645289762010-05-14T23:21:18.983-03:002010-05-14T23:21:18.983-03:00The yellow Birch is gorgeous!
