The Yellow birch

''Betula alleghaniensis'', the yellow birch or golden birch, is a large and important lumber species of birch native to North-eastern North America. Its vernacular names refer to the color of the tree's bark. The name ''Betula lutea'' was used expansively for this tree but has now been replaced.
