Betula luminifera seed

LATIN NAME: BETULA LUMINIFERA

COMMON NAME: Brightleaf Birch

The brightleaf birch lusters the tall, open crown with the broad, glossy, deep-green leaves that flush with the bronze in the spring and the golden in the autumn, the pale, smooth bark peeling in the thin layers, and the slender, hanging catkins following in the spring. The tree grows fast into the sturdy, statuesque tree, and the shining leaves catch the light through the season. It stands the warm, humid summers well, and it likes the sun, and the deep, moist soil.

Scientific Research & Plant Biotechnology

In the birch family, the brightleaf species has a recognised place in the studies of the warm-lowland birches and the timber trees. The research covers the growth in the warm, humid climate, the wood properties and the seed biology, while the foresters value the fast timber. The horticulturists note the shining leaves and the peeling bark, and the growers of the warm-climate birch trees keep the species in their catalogues.

Ecological & Economic Value & Wide Applications

In the warm garden, the brightleaf birch grows fast and shines all season. The glossy leaves flush with the bronze in the spring and the gold in the autumn, the pale bark peels in the thin layers, and the catkins feed the birds and the small mammals. The wood serves the construction, the plywood and the small wares. Bright, fast and generous.

To grow the Brightleaf Birch from seed,

Scatter the seeds over the fine, sandy surface of the tray, then press them in lightly, keep the tray in the bright, cool spot and mist gently

Keep the surface just damp, and lift the tray into the light as the seedlings rise. Transplant them in the cool, moist weather.

. The seedlings break through within a few weeks, and they grow on fast. Stand the young trees in the deep, moist ground, and the glossy leaves will luster through the seasons over the years.
