| | Agriculture, Fisheries and Aquaculture: Grey Birch |
 | | The grey birch, common throughout P.E.I., is a small tree, rarely over 10m in height and a diameter of 20cm. |
 | | It is one of the first trees to spring up after a fire, and is found on dry gravelly or sandy soils, however, it sometimes is found on wet soils along the margins of streams and swamps. |
 | | Grey birch exists in pure stands but is more commonly mixed with spruce, balsam fir, larch, white birch, and poplar. |
