The River Birch tree, Betula Nigra,
is a very handsome tree for estates, parks, golf courses and
any other large areas. It displays a light reddish brown
cinnamon bark that peels and flakes to give that beautiful
look that the birch family is noted for. Plant as a specimen,
or as a windbreak, plant 20’ apart in the row. It is
excellent in wet soil.
The River Birch has dark green summer
foliage and turns a golden yellow in the fall. Best adapted to
moist, acid soils, but will survive dry soils. Not bothered by
the bronze birch borer. Native, graceful branching, easy to
transplant; best not to prune in spring - sap
"bleeds" and is heat tolerant. This deciduous tree
can withstand extended periods of flooding. The River Birch
trees are beautiful in the summer and winter, are widely
adaptable, and heat tolerant.
5-7 gal.
