River Birch

River Birch  SOLD OUT FOR 2024

Betula nigra | Zones 4-9 | Soil: Widely Adaptable

The River Birch is world famous for its silky, smooth, light-tan bark that peels and exfoliates to reveal tantalizing glimpses of beautiful salmon-pink and cinnamon, brown-colored patches beneath. The bark is an outstanding ornamental feature.

Lovely all year long, the River Birch is truly stunning in the winter.  This is the hardiest of all Birches. It's a fast-growing and trouble-free tree. 

White Canoe Birch

White Canoe Birch (Paper Birch) 

Betula papyrifera | Zones 2-7 | Soil: Widely Adaptable

The Paper Birch displays the classic chalky white bark of a birch tree and makes a great contrast to almost any landscape.  The golden color of this tree in autumn is quite a sight and the unique bark color provides great winter interest. The Paper Birch has characteristics that make it a favorite as an ornamental specimen or planted in clumps of 3, 5 or 7.

Whitespire Birch

Whitespire Birch 

Betula populifolia | Zones 3-7 | Soil: Widely Adaptable

The Whitespire Birch has green, glossy leaves in spring & summer, turning yellow in the fall. It can be purchased as a single stem or clump. The tree has a medium to slow growth rate. It likes a somewhat lighter soil. It is a good selection if you want a birch tree but do not want the mature size of a River Birch tree. The Whitespire Birch’s bark resembles a Paper Birch, but is resistant to the Bronze Birch borer.
