 | | Yellow Birch is a tree found extensively in New England, southern Canada, the upper Midwest, and Appalachia as a co-dominant tree in forests where Eastern Hemlock, White Pine, Sugar Maple, American Beech, and other hardwoods are the climax species. |
 | | Yellow Birch is named for its silvery-yellow, thinly peeling bark that develops with maturity, and was formerly classified as Betula lutea. |
 | | The texture of Yellow Birch in winter is medium-fine (upper right), with its ascending branches having thin, sparsely pubescent twigs and small, blunt, moderately pubescent buds (lower left). |
