Sweet Birch (Betula lenta)Observer
tsnDescription
Highlighting the difference in bark patterns between Betula lenta (this observation) and Prunus pensylvanica (previous observation). One doesn't often get to see examples of these two species of similar size in such close proximity.
There were catkins visible on the upper branches, although my last two photos don't show them clearly.
