The Sweet Birch, scientifically known as Betula lenta, is a beautiful deciduous tree native to North America. It is also commonly referred to as the Black Birch or Cherry Birch.

The Sweet Birch is known for its attractive bark, which starts off reddish-brown and gradually darkens to black as the tree matures. The leaves are oval-shaped and have a glossy, dark green color, turning a vibrant yellow in the fall.

This tree thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers well-draining soil. It is relatively low-maintenance and can tolerate a range of soil conditions. Regular watering is important, especially during dry periods, to keep the soil consistently moist.

My new favorite sunglasses! Love the design and shape of these, they’re high quality and well made. Easily and securely fit my small framed face well and look so good on. I’ve gotten a ton of compliments and plan to purchase a second pair for my daughter who also loves them!

beautiful color and style

These are really beautiful sunglasses, with a thick, sturdy green frame and gorgeous emerald green crystal accents at the temples. The hinge is set inside the crystal, so when you fold the glasses, the crystal splits into two parts. It's a neat feature and really unique. The lenses are green but lightly mirrored. I love the style and color of these glasses, as they are definitely unusual and people will notice them. They are, unfortunately, a little tight on my head. I am going to take them to my optician and see if they can be adjusted. I also believe these may have been tried on or used and returned, as the lenses are both smudged like someone handled them with dirty hands. The glasses do not seem to be damaged, but I would have expected a pristine pair at this price point. They come with paperwork and a lens cloth, along with a case for carrying and storage. Paperwork says they are made by Luxottica, which is a high-end, luxury eyewear company in Milan, Italy, that owns or licenses many popular luxury eyewear brands. They are lovely glasses with very good quality, a fun upscale look, and tons of style. I like them a lot and expect many compliments on this eye-catching pair!

Super cute
Color: Pink/Pink Mirrored Pink, Lens Width: 53 Millimeters
These are super cute and really love them except they are a tad too heavy I think for glasses. Made very well with quality materials, I found no cosmetic imperfections on the glasses. The overall look and stye of these are great and I really do love them I just can't wear them for too long due to the weight it becomes irritating.

Very cute, but the colors are a bit limited!!
Color: Dark Green/Azure Internal Mirrored Silver, Lens Width: 53 Millimeters
These oval oval sunglasses are super cute ,They will look great on any shape of face. Green is one of my favorite colors, but green is also a great test of matching skills! The lenses of Swarovski sunglasses are coated with a 100% UV protective coating to protect your eyes from UV rays!
