Perfect for urban courtyards and tiny spaces, you can be confident this tree isn’t going to engulf your garden, or die an early death from borers. Wow, the beauty of birch – in miniature. The 3-inch leaves are heart-shaped and flutter in the breeze, turning golden-yellow in fall. The bark is orange-brown, shedding in big, curly pieces to reveal a smooth, beige-brown inner bark in an endless display of unique beauty.
  • Miniature tree to just 10 feet tall
  • Handsome peeling bark in shades of orange, tan, beige and off-white
  • Grows well in wet soil, heavy clay, and hotter zones
  • Beautiful fall colors of glowing yellow
  • Very resistant to borers and leaf diseases
The Fox Valley® River Birch grows best in full sun, or with just a little shade. It is fast-growing, and quickly develops a mature, multi-trunk and picturesque form. Water regularly, and don’t grow in dry places. A great choice beside water, and tolerates wet soil well. Highly resistant to birch borer, and leaf diseases too, and grows well in hot zones with sufficient soil moisture. Consider adding supplementary irrigation if in hotter zones and not beside water. Don’t prune or trim in spring, as the sap bleeds. Remove unwanted branches early to avoid creating unsightly scars.]]>

Paper Birch Tree https://www.thetreecenter.com/paper-birch-tree/ https://www.thetreecenter.com/paper-birch-tree/#respond Wed, 08 May 2024 14:48:38 +0000 https://www.thetreecenter.com/?post_type=product&p=779795 renowned for its beautiful white bark all year round; the clusters of delicate yellow-green catkins that decorate the branches in early spring; its heart-shaped leaves fluttering in the slightest summer breeze, and the beautiful golden-yellow tones of fall. It delivers year-round interest and beauty, and is the perfect choice when you want to get a garden going on a new plot. Fast-growing, plant a single tree out on your lawn, or plant a group of three or five close together to make a wonderful clump of indescribable beauty. Heck, you hardly need anything else in your garden, so lovely is this tree, and it’s Nature’s gift to cold zone gardeners, where it will be happy to look great all year round. Grow it too when you want to create the light, dappled shade woodland plants love, and even grow it in large pot on a terrace for years to make an oasis of natural beauty.
  • Snow-white peeling bark contrasts with the orange-brown of younger stems
  • Beautiful fall colors of golden yellows
  • Grows best in colder zones
  • Grows quickly – 3 or even 4 feet a year
  • The perfect tree to get a new garden going strong
Your Paper Birch will grow best in a sunny place, and is happy on moist but well-drained soil, as well as areas that are periodically flooded. Your garden is clay or alkaline soil? No worries, the Paper Birch tolerates them well. Avoid stressing young trees by watering them regularly during summer, but once well-established they are tolerant of summer periods of dryness. Tolerates salt-spray and runoff too, and stays pest-free in colder zones – not a good choice above zone 6 or 7. Remove lower branches as it grows while they are still small to avoid making scars on that beautiful white trunk.]]>
