	Description
	Birch is a tree found growing to the height of 65 feet in the northern US, Canada and northern Europe. It has white bark which can be peeled off in horizontal strips. The word "birch" is believed to be from the Sanskrit "bhurga," meaning "tree whose bark can be written on." The twigs are hardy and used in broom handle making and also used to gently "beat" people in saunas. Birch is also used to make canoes and baskets. Browse Sections \| View Birch products
