Weee~!  A universal tree, well, almost.  They are found in Germany, Russia, North America, and are imported in flower form to places like the Philippines.  It can be used as a medical source, paper, and has flowers and fruits.  It is the state tree of New Hampshire, and the national tree of Russia.  It is also the tree in the Land of the Dead in Gaelic folklore.  On the eve of May 1st in Germany, men decorate the birch in front of their love interests...  Perfect for my project~
