Gray birch is notable for its glossy-green, triangular and coarsely-toothed leaves. The bark of the saplings and trees is white, but punctuated with gray chevrons where the branches meet the trunk. It is a short-lived, small, pioneer species that readily colonizes clearings. Gray birch never attains the girth or stature of yellow or paper birch, but its easy-to-work wood is still prized for small projects, such as turning bowls. Birds eat the catkins, seeds, and sap, while hares, porcupines, and beaver eat the bark and twigs. Thickets of young trees provide cover for bobcats.
Gray birch is a narrow, pyramidal tree of cool climates. Bright green leaves turn a yellow fall color. Older trees develop a chalky white bark that does not peel. A good selection for poor soils and other difficult sites, it also demonstrates some resistance to bronze birch borer (BBB).
This species is native to the Chicago region according to Swink and Wilhelm's Plants of the Chicago Region, with updates made according to current research.
