Leijpark013 Rough birch
#leijpark013 #roughbirch
A striking tree in the Leij Park is the Raw Birch. This beautiful large tree (up to thirty meters) with white bark is a magnificent appearance. That 'rough' strikes the bark in old age; then the bark will show cracks and the twigs get a kind of warts that feel rough.
In earlier times, as apart from the clinical picture itself, it was definitely no fun if you were mentally ill. Instead of the care and attention that these people get today, one could count on a beatings with birch branches. Magical powers were attributed to the birch; by beating the mentally ill and criminals with birch branches, according to the belief of then evil spirits were chased out.
At present, this beautiful tree no longer has to fear that people will break or cut down branches for foolish purposes and can spend her days in the Leijpark. Isn't she gorgeous?
