Birch Tree

This weeping birch tree is growing in the front yard of a Mount Royal Calgary home. 

The weeping birch is an enormous and magnificent tree from northern Europe, growing upwards of 80 feet.
The lifespan of a European weeping birch varies and is put at somewhere between 30 to 50 years.
Estimates are that this tree could be as old as the house which was built in 1952 so this tree could be up to 70 years old.
