Black Birch is a tree found in the Appalachian region of the United States, mostly in moist ravines where there are cool summers. In Ohio, it is only native along the western edge of the Allegheny Plateau. It is prized for its hard, heavy wood (used as a finish wood or veneer, and often stained or varnished), and its excellent yellow fall color. It is named for its mature black bark that resembles that of Black Cherry, and it is also known as Cherry Birch or Sweet Birch. Its twigs, if broken, have the strong scent of wintergreen (Yellow Birch also has this trait, but with reduced aroma), and the leaves and twigs may be distilled to extract this flavoring.
When found in the open, Black Birch may reach 50 feet tall and 40 feet wide as an individual tree. As a member of the Birch Family, it is related to the Alders, Hornbeams, Filberts, and Hophornbeams, in addition to other Birches. It is often found growing alongside Yellow Birch (with which it is often confused) in regions where they overlap, inhabiting cool forests, moist ravines, and also colonizing fields and roadway cuts.
