The journey of the Asian black birch connects distant landscapes across the globe. Deeply rooted in the forests of China, Korea, and the Russian Far East, this resilient tree also holds a precarious place in Japanese heritage. In the high-altitude area of Nobeyama in Nagano Prefecture, the species is a rare, endangered treasure, while far across the ocean, specimens thrive as living ambassadors of East Asian biodiversity at the Arnold Arboretum in Boston.
