birches
White-trunked forest trees
Birches is the plural of birch, a deciduous tree known for its distinctive pale, often papery bark that peels in horizontal strips.
Birch trees are common in northern temperate and boreal regions and valued for their wood, which is used in furniture and plywood.
The word also appears as a verb form: to birch someone is to strike them with a birch rod as punishment, a practice now largely historical.
White birches lined the path to the lake.
