Day 80 - Chinese Birch

While looking for multiseason interest trees to plant in my yard, I had to scour quite a few nurseries before locating this specimen at Emery's Garden in Lynnwood.  The latin name is Betula albosinensis var. septentrionalis.  I just love the look of the peeling, cinnamon bark in the sunlight, especially from November to February when things can be quite dreary here in the Pacific Northwest.
