However, since the bark is lighter in color, it reflects the sun’s rays and the sapwood remains a constant temperature through the winter months.Eastern Waterfall Guide - Other Waterfalls in New Hampshire ![]() This constant freeze-thaw action would result in the bark cracking, leaving the tree more susceptible to disease and destruction. The return of colder temperatures and darkness during the night would reverse the process and freeze the sapwood once the sun had set. If the bark was a darker color, it would absorb the winter sun during the day which in turn would warm and thaw the sapwood. White birch has rather thin bark and during the cold winter months the sapwood (soft outer layers of the tree that contain the vascular tissue) freezes beneath the bark. Betulin gives white birch its immediately recognizable white bark which is quite fortunate as the color is what helps it survive the cold New Hampshire winters. White birch owes its appearance and some of its more interesting features to an organic compound called betulin. Can you spot the white birch in this landscape? ![]()
