While walking along the Jefferson River I discovered a new member of the Birch family, the Water Birch. It is a tree/shrub that thrives at the banks of rivers and tree thus the name Water Birch. Multiple trunks protrude up to 25 feet in length. The bark on the tree is dark red ranging to black. Oval shaped leaves grow from the short branches along with tiny yellow flowers when flowering.
