Betula alba<\/p>\n
White Betulla<\/p>\n
Betulaceae<\/p>\n
Europe and T\u00fcrkiye.<\/p>\n
widespread in the regions of Picetum, Fagetum and Castanetum, that is, with annual averages between 3 and 15\u00b0 and minimums up to -20\u00b0. Widespread in Northern Europe.<\/p>\n
deciduous<\/p>\n
Regarding herbal preparations, no toxic effects are reported in the literature at therapeutic doses, unless there is a specific subjective sensitivity to this plant. Do not take if you are allergic to Aspirin. Do not take in case of renal and\/or cardiac insufficiency.<\/p>\n
18-20 m.<\/p>\n
8 m.<\/p>\n
Arboreal. Upright with slender crown shape<\/p>\n
from tapered triangular to rhomboidal, very decorative, small and toothed, light green in colour, sometimes fragrant when budding. They turn bright yellow in autumn.<\/p>\n
unisexual, male flowers of 3-6 cm of brown-purple colour, female of 1-2 cm of light green colour, both gathered in pendulous catkins.<\/p>\n
April – May<\/p>\n
nucula – brown pendulous infructescences which peel off when ripe, releasing the winged fruits<\/p>\n
Stem erect, straight and cylindrical, thin white with black spots and dots. Bark with a characteristic white colour, which however tends to flake and crack as the plant grows<\/p>\n
The medicinal properties have been known since ancient times and in European folk medicine all parts of the birch are used to cure a long list of ailments. The decoctions of leaves and bark are applied topically to treat wounds, alopecia, cellulite, rheumatism, chilblains and dandruff. The infusions of buds and leaves against kidney stones, fever, hypercholesterolemia, arthrosis, flatulence and even as an anthelmintic.<\/p>\n
The leaves are collected in summer and then dried in the shade, in a well-ventilated environment. The buds and sap collected in spring can also be used.<\/p>\n
The charcoal that can be obtained from the combustion of birch wood is used as a natural remedy for meteorism and intestinal swelling.<\/p>\n
not<\/p>\n
very rustic plant. Low<\/p>\n
prefers full sun although partial shade is recommended for the root area.<\/p>\n
soft, medium-textured or sandy, fertile soils, rich in acid-reacting organic substance. It does not tolerate clay, limestone and compact soil.<\/p>\n
lower than 6.5 pH<\/p>\n
Rather frequent in the mountains up to 2000 m. of altitude.<\/p>\n
in a garden once a week in the hot season and once a month in the cold season.<\/p>\n
A long drought can be a problem as well as the composition of the soil which helps drainage or heavy rains can cause compaction of the soil and consequent lack of oxygen.<\/p>\n
Simply crumble the seeds in the palm of your hand and hold them on a seed tray with some potting soil.<\/p>\n
Birch trees cannot be pruned, but since you have to make return cuts, you need to be careful because only the buds that have already formed grow, in fact there are no latent buds.<\/p>\n
If intervention is necessary, it is done in autumn or winter, during vegetative rest.<\/p>\n
having shallow roots, high temperatures can damage or kill them. A late spring or early frost can kill some branches. Or hot days in late winter and early spring can cause excessive moisture loss from buds and branches that cannot be compensated for by the roots due to the still frozen ground.<\/p>\n
Organic mulch (10-15 cm), or companion planting of perennial herbs and shrubs at the base of the tree, will help keep the soil moist and fresh.<\/p>\n
Pollarding can lead to attack by secondary invaders. An example is the birch borer<\/p>\n
The name of the genus is a Latinism, from the Latin birch, itself of Gallic origin, connected with bit\u016bmen.<\/p>\n
In fact, the evidence exists archaeological<\/strong> that the pitch obtained through the pyrolysis of birch bark was already used in Prehistory as an adhesive to glue stone tips to wooden handles and rods and as chewing gum for its antiseptic properties given by its content of betulin and betulinic acid. It was possible to recover human DNA and oral bacteria from a sample of pitch chewed by a woman who lived in southern Denmark 5 thousand years ago.<\/p>\n Plants of this genus are known in Germanic countries under the names Birke in German and birch in English, from an Indo-European root which stands for “shining, white”.<\/p>\n The Betula alba classic black and white bark is thus composed due to the presence of betulin granules,<\/p>\n The allergologico.it website recommends: Birch, a species present in many cities, in public parks and private gardens, is highly allergenic and responsible for seasonal oculo-rhinitis and asthmatic symptoms; it is therefore recommended to discourage its planting, especially in new living contexts.<\/p>\n The root system is superficial, therefore it requires frequent irrigation because it is unable to draw water from the deep layers. This last characteristic, unfavorable for cultivation in the plains in times of climate change and drought, is counterbalanced by a strong ability to colonize open land in competition with other species. It is therefore suitable for reforestation<\/strong> following catastrophic events (for example bark beetle attacks or strong storms) and the consolidation<\/strong> of mountain slopes.<\/p>\n If you would like more information on birch you will find a lot here<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n Betula alba was called “the tree of wisdom” as the masters used the young branches of this tree for teaching purposes. In ancient times its sap was used as an effective remedy for kidney stones and for the well-being of the bladder. The bark was used to make cans and many other items.<\/p>\n Birch lumber is light, easily attacked by insects and fungi if not properly treated. Its mechanical characteristics make it ideal for the production of plywood for naval and aeronautical applications.<\/p>\n no use.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.27.2″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”0px||0px||true|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][dmg_masonry_gallery gallery=”6900,6894,6896,6898,6902,6908,6892″ columns=”1″ gutter=”430″ zoom_hover=”on” images_size=”dmg_image_extra_large” hover_overlay_effect=”nothing” columns_tablet=”2″ columns_phone=”1″ columns_last_edited=”on|desktop” gutter_tablet=”20″ gutter_phone=”20″ gutter_last_edited=”on|desktop” module_class=”gallery-schede-botaniche” _builder_version=”4.27.3″ _module_preset=”default” title_text_align=”left” custom_margin=”||||false|false” custom_padding=”||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/dmg_masonry_gallery][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ admin_label=”Consiglio MDG” _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”30px||20px||false|false” custom_padding=”10px|20px|20px|20px|false|true” border_radii=”on|15px|15px|15px|15px” border_width_all=”4px” border_color_all=”#d5de75″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” width=”100%” custom_padding=”0px||0px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.3″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Since planting in gardens is not recommended due to allergens, it will mean that we will organize beautiful walks in birch woods to enjoy its view.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ admin_label=”Testo (100%)” _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” width=”100%” custom_padding=”0px||0px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.3″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Now on horseback!

Eretto con forma della chioma slanciata<\/p>\r\n da triangolare affusolato a romboidale molto decorative, piccole e dentate, di colore verde chiaro, talvolta fragrante al germogliamento. Diventano giallo brillante in autunno.<\/p>\r\n fiori unisessuali, maschili di 3-6 cm di colore bruno-purpurei, femminili di 1-2 cm di colore verde chiaro entrambi riuniti in amenti penduli.<\/p>\r\n aprile - maggio<\/p>\r\n nucula - infruttescenze pendule di colore bruno che a maturit\u00e0 si desquamano liberando i frutti alati<\/p>\r\n Fusto eretto dritto e cilindrico, sottile bianco con macchie e punti neri. Corteccia dal caratteristico colore bianco, che per\u00f2 tende a sfogliarsi e screpolarsi a mano a mano che la pianta cresce<\/p>\r\n Le\u00a0propriet\u00e0 medicinali\u00a0sono note sin dall'antichit\u00e0 e nella medicina popolare europea tutte le parti della betulla vengono utilizzate per curare una lunga lista di malanni. I decotti di foglie e corteccia si applicano per via topica per trattare le ferite, l'alopecia, la cellulite, i reumatismi, i geloni e la forfora. Gli infusi di gemme e foglie contro i calcoli renali, la febbre, l'ipercolesterolemia, l'artrosi, la flatulenza e perfino come antielmintico.<\/p>\r\n Si raccolgono le foglie in estate, successivamente si fanno essiccare all\u2019ombra, in un ambiente ben areato. Si possono utilizzare anche le gemme e la linfa raccolti in primavera.<\/p>\r\n Il carbone che si pu\u00f2 ottenere dalla combustione del legno di Betulla viene usato come rimedio naturale per il meteorismo e il gonfiore intestinale.<\/p>\r\n no<\/p>\r\n pianta molto rustica. Bassa<\/p>\r\n preferisce il pieno sole anche se viene consigliata una mezz\u2019ombra per l\u2019area delle radici.<\/p>\r\n terreni soffici, di medio impasto o sabbiosi, fertili, ricchi di sostanza organica a reazione acida. Non tollera argilla, calcare e suolo compatto.<\/p>\r\n inferiore ai 6,5 pH<\/p>\r\n Piuttosto frequente in montagna fino ai 2000 m. di altitudine.<\/p>\r\n in un giardino una volta alla settimana nella stagione calda ed una al mese in quella fredda.<\/p>\r\n Una lunga siccit\u00e0 pu\u00f2 essere un problema come anche la composizione del terreno che aiuta il drenaggio o forti piogge possono causare compattazione del terreno e conseguente mancanza di ossigeno.<\/p>\r\n \u00c8 sufficiente sbriciolare i semi nel palmo della mano e tenerli su un vassoio per semi con del terriccio.<\/p>\r\n Le betulle non si potano, dovendo per\u00f2 fare tagli di ritorno, occorre fare attenzione perch\u00e9 vegetano solo le gemme gi\u00e0 formate, non ci sono infatti gemme latenti.<\/p>\r\n Se si deve intervenire si fa comunque in autunno o in inverno, durante il riposo vegetativo.<\/p>\r\n avendo radici poco profonde le temperature elevate possono danneggiarle o ucciderle. Una gelata tardiva primaverile o precoce pu\u00f2 uccidere alcuni rami. Oppure giornate calde nel tardo inverno e all'inizio della primavera possono causare un'eccessiva perdita di umidit\u00e0\u00a0da gemme e rami che non pu\u00f2\u00a0essere compensata dalle radici per il terreno ancora\u00a0congelato.<\/p>\r\n La pacciamatura organica (di 10-15 cm), o il companion planting di erbe perenni e arbusti alla base dell\u2019albero,\u00a0aiuter\u00e0\u00a0a mantenere il terreno umido e fresco.<\/p>\r\n La capitozzatura pu\u00f2 portare all\u2019attacco di invasori secondari. Un esempio \u00e8 la trivellatrice della\u00a0betulla<\/p>\r\n Il nome del genere \u00e8 un\u00a0latinismo, dal\u00a0latino\u00a0betulla, a sua volta d'origine\u00a0gallica, collegata con\u00a0bit\u016bmen.<\/p>\r\n Esiste, infatti, l\u2019evidenza\u00a0archeologica<\/strong>\u00a0che la pece ricavata mediante la pirolisi della corteccia di betulla venisse utilizzata gi\u00e0 nella Preistoria come adesivo per incollare le punte di pietra ai manici e alle aste di legno e come chewing gum per le sue propriet\u00e0 antisettiche date dal suo contenuto di betulina e acido betulinico. \u00c8 stato possibile recuperare Dna umano e dei batteri del cavo orale da un campione di pece masticato da una donna che abitava il Sud della Danimarca 5mila anni fa.<\/p>\r\n Le piante del genere sono conosciute nei Paesi germanici con il nome di\u00a0Birke\u00a0in tedesco e\u00a0birch\u00a0in inglese, da una\u00a0radice indoeuropea\u00a0che st\u00e0 per \"splendente, bianco\".<\/p>\r\n la classica corteccia bianca e nera \u00e8 cos\u00ec composta per la presenza di granuli di betulina,<\/p>\r\n Il sito allergologico.it raccomanda: La betulla, specie presente in molte citt\u00e0, nei parchi pubblici e nei giardini privati, \u00e8 altamente allergizzante e responsabile di sintomatologia oculo-rinitica e asmatica stagionale; si raccomanda quindi di disincentivarne la piantagione, soprattutto presso nuovi contesti abitativi.<\/p>\r\n L'apparato radicale \u00e8 superficiale, pertanto necessita di frequenti irrigazioni perch\u00e9 incapace di attingere acqua dagli strati profondi. Quest'ultima caratteristica, sfavorevole per la coltivazione in pianura in tempi di\u00a0cambiamento climatico\u00a0e siccit\u00e0, \u00e8 controbilanciata da una spiccata capacit\u00e0 di colonizzare terreni aperti in competizione con altre specie. Risulta quindi adatta per la\u00a0riforestazione<\/strong>\u00a0in seguito ad eventi catastrofici (ad esempio attacchi di bostrico o forti temporali) e la\u00a0consolidazione<\/strong>\u00a0dei pendii montani.<\/p>\r\nAnnotations<\/strong><\/h4>\n
