Botany
Silver Birch is a tall deciduous tree having silver peeling bark on the trunk. Its botanical name is Betula pendula, a species of the Betulaceae family. It is found in the high-altitude regions of Siberia, Southwest Asia, and China. The tree bears slender twigs, pendulous triangular leaves, winged seeds, and catkin flowers. Its trunk is slimmer in comparison to that of Betula alba and lenta plants. The bark or outer layer of the trunk and branches is golden-brown initially, but the papery issue develops and it turns silver. Later on, it peels off in flakes. The leaves turn yellow before falling in autumn.
Many parts of the plant such as bark, leaves, buds, juice or resin, or other processed products have been used to treat multiple health conditions related to skin, infections, urinary tract, and inflammation.
