Betula lenta (species) (Betula (genus), Betulaceae (family), ... Living Organisms (hierarchy name)) |
|
Note: Species of North American ornamental and timber tree, usually around 18 m (60 feet) in height; on poor soil it may be stunted and shrublike. The smooth, shiny, nonpeeling outer bark, red brown on younger stems, is almost black on older trunks and deeply furrowed into irregular scales. The twigs and inner bark smell and taste like wintergreen. The hard, close-grained wood is similar to that of yellow birch but denser and of deeper color. Sweet birch is a source of birch oil, formerly a substitute for oil of wintergreen. Birch beer is made from the sap.

Additional Notes: |
|
| Dutch ..... Noord-Amerikaanse soort sier- en productieboom, meestal zo'n 18 meter hoog. Op minder vruchtbare bodems kan de soort kleiner en struikachtig zijn. De gladde, glanzende, niet-afbladderende buitenste schors is roodbruin op jongere stammen en bijna zwart op oudere stammen en diep gegroefd in onregelmatige lagen. De takjes en de binnenste schors hebben de geur en smaak van wintergroene planten. Het harde hout met de dichte nerfstructuur is vergelijkbaar met dat van de gele berk, maar is massiever en dieper van kleur. De suikerberk is een bron van berkenolie en was vroeger een vervanger van wintergroenolie. Van het sap wordt berkenbier gemaakt. |
