Betula

Just like the Northern Red Oak, this Paper Birch can be found along the rock wall right by my house. It's probably a few feet downhill from the Northern Red Oak. The soil is either dry or wet depending on the weather. I think that it's unique since it's bark is able to peel awway in thin slices, thus giving it the name Paper Birch.
