You will probably need it eventually when you learn what to do with it. I suggest collecting everything you can and storing it in a known location, no matter how mundane it seems. Everything is important for some aspect of survival. This is especially true of birches it is part of their charm and should be embraced.There is no such thing as a useless item in The Long Dark. You should, however, be aware that every tree will develop its own unique character over time, influenced by many factors. Approach a reputable grower and enquire about propagation history, bearing in mind that in this case trees with a degree of genetic variation may be preferable, as they will give more natural graduations in tone. However, if your budget doesn’t stretch to a mature tree, or if you’re looking for a rare cultivar, which may only be available as a sapling, then you need to buy from a reputable nurseryman and confirm the trees were propagated from cuttings (which will ensure they are genetically identical to the mother tree).įor broadscale planting of woodlands, buying saplings in bulk is likely to be the most practical option. If you’re looking for precise, true-to-type features, then it is best to select from mature trees that already show that trait. Many of the characteristics of birch don’t show themselves in saplings, so you need to be very careful when choosing your tree. albosinensis and its cultivars, although ultimately sizable trees, are slow growing enough to be treated as small-to-medium sized trees for most practical purposes. Cultivars valued for their bark colour can be gently pressure-washed to remove algae and lichen.ī. Planting in full sun may encourage production of betulin (the chalky white ‘bloom’ that gives birch barks its unique appearance), though this is speculative. pubescens are notably vigorous and robust, performing well on inhospitable sites. nigra are excellent choices for damp (but not waterlogged) soils, but site away from frost pockets and provide shelter from cold winds.ī.
How to growīirches are generally exceptionally hardy and relatively easy to grow in sun to light dappled shade, on most soils, dry or damp. Easy, hardy and fast-growing, it forms a medium-sized tree. This unusual Chinese birch has glossy, dark honey-coloured bark that peels off in spectacular long strips.
