birch tree
Pale peeling trunk
A birch tree is a deciduous tree with distinctive pale bark that often peels in papery layers.
Birches grow throughout northern temperate regions and are prized for their ornamental appearance: White birches lined the path to the lake.
The phrase is somewhat redundant—birch alone typically refers to the tree—but common in casual speech.
