Had time to do some cutting while I was off work a few days ago and cleaned up a storm damaged black birch that was across one of our log rds and got in a couple loads off a dead standing locust I dropped. I cant think of any other thing in the woods that smells better than a fresh cut load of birch !Locust and Birch

What is black birch in your area? Does anyone know the latin name? Your nice wood does not look like what is called black birch around here.

In Pennsylvania we call Betula lenta Black Birch, or Sweet Birch, or Cherry Birch. It is the stuff you make Birch Beer from, so maybe you could call it beer birch
