Description
Sweet birch thrives in well-drained, acidic soils and is commonly found in mixed hardwood forests, often on slopes and ridges. The tree is renowned for its fragrant bark, which, when scratched, releases a strong wintergreen scent due to the presence of methyl salicylate. Historically, the bark and sap were used to produce birch beer and as a flavoring similar to wintergreen. Betula lenta also has valuable wood that is hard and heavy, making it suitable for furniture, flooring, and cabinetry. Additionally, the tree plays an important ecological role, providing habitat and food for various wildlife species, including birds and mammals.
