Ya, you Betula! While most think we're known as the great white north for snow accumulation (not to mention milk production), the ubiquitous Paperbark Birch deserves some credit as well. I spent the better part of this morning sitting on the tractor moving a winters-worth of horse manure from under the sheds, which gave me plenty of mental down time to focus on the various Birch I've got growing on the place. Here are a few pics to show this transformation.

This one is about 3-5 years old. No white at this early juncture, just a nice cinnamon color.
