I looked up how long it takes for a yellow birch branch to grow &#8211; according to arborday.org, which is Arbor Day Foundation&#8217;s website, yellow birches grow at a medium to fast rate (13&#8243; &#8211; more than 24&#8243; inches per year), so the fact that the branch&#8217;s growth was visible makes sense. The number of stems increased. The fact that I am noticing more now may demonstrate the growth of the branch. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/cnelso21\/files\/2023\/04\/april-tree-3-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-243\" width=\"249\" height=\"332\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/cnelso21\/files\/2023\/04\/april-tree-3-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/cnelso21\/files\/2023\/04\/april-tree-3-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/cnelso21\/files\/2023\/04\/april-tree-3-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/cnelso21\/files\/2023\/04\/april-tree-3-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/cnelso21\/files\/2023\/04\/april-tree-3-1568x2091.jpg 1568w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/cnelso21\/files\/2023\/04\/april-tree-3-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 249px) 100vw, 249px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">branch growth<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The amount of moss growing on the tree also increased as well.
