Birch trees are a plant that naturally occur in boreal forests and tundras. Birch trees can also be grown by the player in any biome, but can't be sown in hydroponics. A mature birch tree yields 30 wood.

Growing

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	230
Grow Time (days)	40.64	34.55	28.79	-
Base Yield/day	0.74	0.87	1.04	-

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.

Food Production

Birch trees don't yield any human-edible products.

Economy

The birch tree's raw product is wood, which has a market value of 1.4 silver. The refined product with the largest profit margin is a grand sculpture, having a 51.25% profit margin. The following table details silver per day, per plant. It only factors in the 50% selling markdown; the market value of the products; and the yield per day:

Ground Type	Gravel	Soil	Rich Soil	Hydroponics
Raw	0.52	0.61	0.73	-
Refined	0.78	0.92	1.1	-
