Birch trees
of Northlands do not do well in Southern climes. I miss them. While river birch trees charm me, they are drab compared to the white and paper birch trees of my childhood Montana home. What to do? Enjoy Gustav Klimt's renderings of these pale-bark trees.

I have a coworker who planted some birches here in Southern California, even through they don't do really well here, either. Their simple white trunks are compelling, and the Klimt captures their appeal so well.
