Birch

Birch is a type of tree that can be found in the Meadows and Plains biomes. It is characterized by its white bark with black spots. A Bronze Axe or better is required to damage it.
Birch trees produce wood and Fine Wood when destroyed. The yield of each type of wood appears to be random, however, a birch tree will always drop 20 pieces of wood total.
It is possible to damage Birch trees by intentionally hitting them with falling Beech trees. If enough damage is done by falling trees, the birch tree will be brought down. The trunk can then be rolled downslope (ideally) and repeatedly smashed into obstacles until it shatters into usable lumber. Birch trees can also be destroyed by a Troll. These methods allow players to acquire Fine Wood before being able to craft a Bronze Axe.
Meadows and planted: chance for only wood or only fine wood to drop
Item 	Amount	Chance 	Average
Wood 	0-20 	From logs 	10
Fine wood	0-20 	From logs 	10
Wood 	2 	From stump	2
Meadows and planted: 50% chance for 0 drops, 37.5% chance for 2 drops, and 12.5% chance for 1 dropThere are actually two variants of Birch trees that appear in the Meadows, or when a Birch seed is planted. Both variants have a 50% chance to drop nothing. One variant also has a 50% chance to drop two items; the other has a 25% chance to drop one item and a 25% chance to drop two. The probabilities listed here account for a 50% chance that either variant is chosen upon spawn.

===Planting Birches===
Birch trees that grow naturally in the Plains biome have a different "fall-like", yellow color to its leaves compared to the variant of Birch found in the Meadows. However, should the player grow their own Birch trees in Plains by using the Cultivator, the player-cultivated trees will have green leaves like those found in Meadows. This makes the naturally grown Plains birch with the faded yellow hue finite and impossible to replace once chopped down.
