Birch,
Beith:
Two
types of birch are found in Ireland, downy and silver. The silver
birch gets its name from the beautiful silver bark on its trunk,
while the downy birch has bark, which is pink in colour. It is
a delicate, beautiful tree, with fine branches and small leaves
and produces its seed by developing small catkins, which can usually
be seen on the tree all year long.
