Gelb-Birke
Northern hardwood forests include sugar maple ("Acer saccharum") and American beech. Also common are yellow birch ("Betula alleghaniensis"), eastern hemlock ("Tsuga canadensis"), red maple, black cherry, and eastern white pine ("Pinus strobus"). Hemlock tends to follow stream drainages, while white pine prefers drier ridgetops. White ash, American elm ("Ulmus americana"), basswood ("Tilia americana"), and hop hornbeam ("Ostrya virginiana") can occur locally.
