Best Answer

The birch family is Betulaceae, which also include Alders (Alnus) hornbeams (Carpinus), and hazels (Corylus). There are about 170 species grouped in 6 genera. Usually, they live in the Northern hemisphere (America, Europe, Asia), from the temperate to arctic regions, as trees and shrubs, but also in some isolated regions in the Southern Hemisphere (Northern Andes). They are deciduous trees, which means that they shed their leaves during the cold season.
