hmmm..... interesting, I wouldn't normally think of any white birch in an old
growth forest as it usually doesn't live that long- but I suppose it's possible
if an old growth stand gets opened up with storm damage, some white birch could
seed in- but I wonder how old it can get? Maybe the idea that white birch can't
live long compared to many of our other species is just another of the many
falsehoods in the forestry world?
That particular old white birch is the strangest one I've ever seen!

The old growth yellow and white birch on Plateau are simply
extraordinary. Can't get enough.
