Betula nana


Round 7 in ABC Wednesday has reached letter B.
My choice for the letter is Betula nana (which happens to be one kind of Birch).

Ecology description:
Betula nana subsp. nana. Canada (Baffin Island), Greenland, northern Europe (south to the Alps at high altitudes), northwestern Asia. Young twigs hairy, but without resin; leaves longer (to 20 mm), usually as long as broad.
