Berken - a photo on Flickriver

Berken

            Betula pendula - Silver Birch is often planted as a garden and ornamental tree, grown for its white bark and gracefully drooping shoots, sometimes even in warmer-than-optimum places. In Scandinavia and other regions of northern Europe, it is grown for forestry. It is sometimes used as a pioneer and nurse tree elsewhere. It is naturalised and locally invasive in parts of Canada. Birch brushwood is used for racecourse jumps, and the sap can be brewed into a "wine". Historically, the bark was used for tanning.

Successful birch cultivation requires a climate cool enough for at least the occasional winter snowfall. As they are shallow rooted they may require water during dry periods. They grow best in full sun planted in deep, well-drained soil

Here you can see an endless row of birches separating the highway from a tertiary road.
