Yellow Birch is known for its distinctive, golden peeling park. It is the largest of all American birches. This slow-growing tree is important for wildlife, as it provides food and breeding habitat for a number of species of birds. The small, upright cones of the Yellow Birch disintegrate slowly and release their seeds as spring approaches, providing vital food at a time when other food sources are scarce.
