"The yellow birch is a medium-sized tree — the largest of the birches that are native to Ontario. It has thin, shiny, reddish-brown bark when young, becoming dull yellow with age, and darkening to bronze-coloured when mature. It grows slowly and lives about 150 years. Yellow birch trees have deep yellowish-green leaves, oval and usually between eight and 11 centimetres long. Its flowers are "catkins"" (ontario.ca)
