Mystery Tree

I came across a stand of these trees today. They are definitely new to me. My plant app identifies this tree as gumbo limbo (red birch, etc, etc.) Maybe others here are familiar with this tree (?)

Not familiar with that, Heather, but that red peeling bark is beautiful!

[Beryl Lloyd]

Such a gorgeous warm colour to this peeling tree trunk - not familiar ,,but assume it is one of the birch trees!! It looks so good on black Heather! fav

[Diana]

Such a wonderful find and capture, I love the peeling bark tones and textures.

[~*~ Jo ~*~]

super capture of th curling bark fav!

[Jo Worboys]

We have a silver birch with peeling bark just like this just a lighter colour. So red birch would make sense??

[Lisa Brown]

very cool

This peeling of the bark is typical for birch. But it is too small a fragment of the tree to say anything more. Lovely shot and details.

[Jeremy Cross]

Great shot and wonderful colour and light

[Heather]

@beryl Thank you, Beryl! I just checked it out on black- you're right!

[Christine Sztukowski]

I love how it's peeling off

Great find and capture

I believe it to be a River Birch or Paper Birch tree. I took photos of that type of tree a few years ago and posted it. Will see if I can find it.
