GLEBE TREES AND SHRUBS

White birch (Betula papyrifera)

The bark was not peeling, so I am not 100% sure it is white birch.

SImilar species
European birch is white, but does not peel as readily. It also has black triangles
below many branches. The leaf of European birch is shaped differently - more delicately.
Trembling aspen bark is greenish-white, does not peel
at all, and looks like the tree has been bandaged.
