THE River Birch
About the River
Birch :
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. |
