Betula alleghaniensis, the yellow birch,[2] golden birch,[3] or swamp birch,[4] is a large tree and an important lumber species of birch native to northeastern North America. Its vernacular names refer to the golden color of the tree's bark.[5] In the past its scientific name was Betula lutea, the yellow birch.
Betula alleghaniensis is the provincial tree of Quebec, where it is commonly called merisier, a name which in France is used for the wild cherry.
