The River Birch tree is a fantastic tree for many reasons! It can be used as a shade tree, or add beautiful year-round interest to your yard! The river birch is easy to grow, even if you don't have a "green thumb". They are beautiful year-round but in winter the unique river birch peeling bark sticks out and it’s pretty to see in the winter when everything else looks bare. As its name suggests, the river birch naturally grows along riverbanks. But as a landscape tree, it can be planted almost anywhere in the U.S. The species is valued for its relatively rapid growth, tolerance to wetness and some drought, unique curling bark, spreading limbs, and relative resistance to birch borer. The river birch has not yet reached the popularity of many maples and oaks, but it is well on its way. In 2002, one of its cultivars was even named the Urban Tree of the Year by the Society of Municipal Arborists. |
