Red birch
December 1, 2011
I love this very special tree in the Botanical Garden in Aarhus. This is a Chinese Red Birch (Betula albosinensis var. septentrionalis).
The Danish name is “Kobber Birk” (Translation: Copper Birch).
The pink-bloomed bark is so unusual and beautiful!

Flott bilde med klare og tydelige detaljer. Kobber-gjørk eller rød bjørk har jeg ikke hørt om før…
Men, hvis en fjerner det hvite neverlaget på bjørka har laget under samme farge som denne…
Ha en flott …vinterkveld….Truels!

Beautiful. We have lovely white birches here. Just imagine a candy-cane forest with alternate red and white birches.

Interesting and beautiful. The thick black border enhances your photo. -I was just about to urge you to go there again and take a sharper picture – until I clicked on it and saw the large version. The image scaling in wordpress is not the best possible….

A very beautiful still life and lovely shot. So many variations in shades ! I did not know of this kind of birch tree. There are my favourite trees with the larch trees.

I grew up with white birches in New York but I never knew there was a species elsewhere with red bark. Live and learn.
