It grows as a spreading tree up to 20 m (70 ft) tall, with its trunk covered by a white, beige and grey thick papery bark.
Betula albosinensis is a deciduous tree that can grow up to 25 m (82 ft) in height, [2] with some specimens reaching 18 to 27 m (60 to 90 ft). [3] The trunk can reach a circumference of 1.8 to 3.4 m (6 to 11 ft).
Mariosousa heterophylla, also called the palo blanco tree (which is also applied to Ipomoea arborescens), [3] palo liso, guinola, [4] and Willard acacia, is a normally evergreen mimosoid plant in the genus Mariosousa native to Mexico. The Spanish common name translates into 'white stick', defining its peeling white bark.
Peeling bark. Its bark is an excellent fire starter; it ignites at high temperatures even when wet. The bark has an energy density of 5,740 cal/g (24,000 J/g) and 3,209 cal/cm 3 (220,000 J/cu in), the highest per unit weight of 24 species tested. [11] Birch bark is used in a number of crafts by various Native American tribes (e.g. Ojibwe). [22]
It is a tree up to 20 m in height, with a short trunk, thick branches, and thick, peeling bark. The leaves are up to 40 cm long, compound with 7-13 leaflets, each leaflet about 10 cm long with a finely serrated margin, green above, silvery-haired below. The flowers are white to orange-buff or pinkish-red, produced in panicles 30–60 cm long.
Physocarpus are deciduous shrubs with peeling bark [2] and alternately arranged leaves. The leaves are palmate with 3 to 7 lobes and often toothed edges. The inflorescence is a cluster of bell-shaped flowers with 5 rounded white or pink petals and many stamens. The fruit is a flat or inflated dehiscent follicle. [3] [4]
It is a deciduous, wind-pollinated tree generally reaching a height of 20–30 m with a columnar crown and grey-brown peeling bark.The leaves are 5–8 cm long and 1.5-2.3 cm broad, with a very finely serrated to nearly entire margin, and an acuminate apex.
Its bark is distinctive, peeling in thin flakes to expose creamy-white underbark, similar in appearance to that of Corymbia maculata, guava or Pride-of-India.. Spring foliage has an oily appearance to the surface and ranges from light green to bronze or bright red, turning to a fresh, shiny green when mature.
