Tree Father Birch

Tree Father Birch is the "leader" of the Treeminders in the Oasis. He is the husband of Leaf Mother Laurel and the father of Sapling Yew. He greets you upon nearing the entrance. After leading you to the center of the grove. Birch will enter conversation which will begin the Oasis (quest). Players can use Speech to learn of the (believed) nature of Harold and also use the Animal Friend Perk to say that there is a lot of wildlife in the area (you'll also be granted a special dialogue, if the player has the Life Giver perk), but these options have no effect on the outcome. After speaking to Harold the first time, Birch will give the player the Birch's Sap that will cease Harold's growth. Birch seems to be a memorandum of James Birch, an environmentalist in Fallout 2 that tells the Vault Dweller "the trees own the land". Tree Father Birch might even be a descendant of James Birch.
