Sweet Birch is a charming tree with glossy, dark green leaves that turn a stunning yellow in the fall. Its bark is smooth and reddish-brown, often peeling in thin strips. Crush a twig, and you'll catch a delightful wintergreen scent. This tree is a favorite for its aromatic qualities and is often used in making birch beer.
