Silver Birch Buds, Betula verrucosa Why Lauren loves Silver Birch Gemmo It is the amazing potential for vibrancy and protection this extract has to offer young bodies that I adore.  It offers something for everyone during the first decades of life. Silver Birch Tree Silver Birch, native to Europe and Asia, appeared on earth 30 million years ago, and is one of the most resistant and light-filled trees. It is a great colonizer of uncultivated lands and regenerates poor soil.  It can be found in sparse deciduous, needle or mixed forests, associating with beech, conifers and alders but also alone in forests of only Silver Birch.  The tree can reach 75 to 90 feet (25 to 30 meters) in height. The word birch comes from the Celtic root Betul, the first lunar month of the Celtic calendar, but also from the name of the Germanic goddess Birgit celebrated at that same time of the rising of the light. It is the tree of the initiates, the one that the shamans climb to reach the supreme knowledge.
