River Birch

Betula nigra 60-80' × 40-60'

With its graceful silhouette and attractive bark, river birch is a highly prized ornamental. Grows to be a very large rounded tree. Found along stream banks and riparian areas where conditions are wet in winter and spring, dry in summer and fall. The beautiful reddish-brown exfoliating bark reveals the equally ornamental multi-shaded inner bark. Dark green summer foliage yellows before dropping. Leaves, twigs and bark traditionally used to treat various stomach ailments. Birds eat the seeds and deer browse the foliage. Wood not as valuable as other birch.

Prefers moist acid soil. Fast growing, trouble free. Native to eastern U.S. Z4. (2–4' bare-root trees)
