The UK`s most familiar fern, bracken can be found growing in dense stands on hillsides, moorland, heathland and in woodlands. It dies back in winter, turning the landscape orangey-brown. Silver birch is a striking, medium-sized deciduous tree. When mature they can reach 30m in height, forming a light canopy with elegant, drooping branches. The white bark sheds layers like tissue paper and becomes black and rugged at the base. As the trees mature, the bark develops dark, diamond-shaped fissures. Twigs are smooth, and have small dark warts.
