Yellow birch can reach 30 m in height and 60 cm in diameter, but diameters of more than 90 cm can be observed. This tree is native to northeastern North America. It is the largest birch in eastern Canada. It can live up to 200 years, sometimes more. Its twigs have a mint flavor, and its buds are characterized by their two shades of brown and dark yellow. Its dense, heavy, reddish-brown wood, which is easy to stain and polish, is often used in cabinetmaking. It is an important source of timber in eastern Canada. This tree has interesting characteristics for reforestation and for the rewilding of environments due to its adaptation to various soil types. It also remains an underestimated ornamental tree in more northern regions.
