Description
Birch trees are recognizable by their bark, which peels off in strips in all birches except the gray birch. Bark of the birch can be white, grey, yellow, silver or black in color. Birch bark has been used as paper for centuries. The oldest dated birch bark manuscripts are numerous Gandhāran Buddhist texts from approximately the 1st century CE, believed to have originated in Afghanistan. The Roman period Vindolanda tablets (the oldest surviving handwritten documents in Britain) also use birch as a material on which to write.
