Silver Birch

The Silver Birch Betula pendula is the tree that keeps on giving. Good wood for fire, wood for crafts, sap for sugar, sap to drink, bark to create containers, boats and other craft items, bark as tinder, bark as source of oils and resin.  I pondered the Birches position in the useful tree list and so far it comes in at number one.
