Definition
Plural of 'birch': trees of the genus Betula with distinctive white papery bark, or birch rods used for punishment.
Etymology
From Old English 'birce,' possibly from Proto-Indo-European root meaning 'bright' (for the pale bark). Ancient Germanic and European tree.
Kelly Says
Birches are among the few trees that actually look whiter as they age—the papery bark peels in curls that reflect light, making them visible from far away in dark forests!
