Birchin'

Admire the birch.
She grows with enthusiasm under the harshest conditions.
Extreme climate nor little sunlight, will dampen her brightness.
A pioneer, she's the first to put down roots after the forest is leveled by men or by fire.
So bold and beautiful, yet she has her gnarly parts, too.
