Paper birch

[RJG2]

Wish me luck

Collected on Easter at my uncle's house in NH. If I'm coming over in early spring, and you have woods, my root slayer is coming with me.

Surprised I didn't take any pictures prior to/during potting - must have been in a rush - but it's a bit bulbous under there.

April 1st, right after potting (in the back):

Seems to be doing well; bark is just starting to turn white.

When I was a kid, we had a birch tree in the yard. It was my favorite, I was fascinated by the white bark.
