觀賞與木材樹種，生長於北美，通常可生長至18公尺（60呎）高；若生長於貧瘠土壤，可能較矮小而形似灌木。新枝的外層樹皮柔軟、有光澤，無剝落，而老樹幹的樹皮則轉為近乎黑色，上有裂成不規則鱗片狀的深溝。細枝與內面樹皮的氣味與味道皆似冬青樹。木材堅硬，紋理緊密，類似黃樺，但材質更緊實，色澤更深。甜樺為提煉樺樹油的原料之一，以往作為冬青油替代品。樹液可製成樺木啤酒。

香樺(木材)

英文....

Species of North American ornamental and timber tree, usually around 18 m (60 feet) in height; on poor soil it may be stunted and shrublike. The smooth, shiny, nonpeeling outer bark, red brown on younger stems, is almost black on older trunks and deeply furrowed into irregular scales. The twigs and inner bark smell and taste like wintergreen. The hard, close-grained wood is similar to that of yellow birch but denser and of deeper color. Sweet birch is a source of birch oil, formerly a substitute for oil of wintergreen. Birch beer is made from the sap.
