Birch trees have a base growing time of 20 days, need a minimum soil fertility of 30%, and have a fertility sensitivity rating of 50%. The following table details how long it takes for birch trees to grow in each growable ground type, factoring in the plant resting time and being in ideal growing conditions:

Ground Type	Gravel	Soil	Rich Soil	Hydroponics
Fertility (%)	70	100	140	280
Real Grow Time (days)	43.44	36.92	30.77	N/A
Base Yield/day	0.62	0.73	0.88	N/A

Birch trees are functionally identical to pine trees. Therefore, birch trees are tied with pine trees as being the second worst tree to farm for wood in the game; the worst being cecropia trees.
