Betula papyrifera, commonly known as paper birch, is an ornamental tree with distinctive white bark that peels to reveal a reddish-brown layer underneath. Its dark-green leaves turn a golden hue in autumn, adding seasonal interest. Widely distributed across North America, this birch prefers cool, moist sites and is used for firewood, furniture, and syrup production.
