A very handsome all-season tree for estates, parks, golf courses, yards and any other open areas with moist, slightly acidic soil. River Birch is famous for its peeling pale cinnamon-colored bark, which is extraordinary. It has many advantages, among them its graceful branching habit, heat tolerance and resistance to bronze birch borer. The River Birch has dark green summer foliage that changes over to a butter-yellow in the fall, is basically trouble-free and shrugs off most of the diseases and pests that destroy other Birches. Plant as a specimen, but it’s far more effective in groves. If you’re intending the trees to serve as a windbreak, space them 20’ apart. An easy transplanter. Zones 3-9.
