The Silver Birch (Betula pendula) or white birch is a tree species native to our region. It is now found all over Russia and as far away as Mongolia. Thanks to the lightness of its wind-blown seeds, it is one of the first trees to grow on bare land. It appreciates siliceous soils and is very resistant to spray and air pollution. Birch is grown in parks as a decorative tree. Its wood is used by bakers to bake bread and is highly appreciated by carpenters for its white, soft and silky appearance, which is easy to work with.
