Available for Store Pickup or Local Delivery Only

Add texture, multi-season interest, and graceful form to your garden with River Birch, a fast-growing native tree known for its distinctive peeling bark and delicate foliage. In early spring, small catkins appear as the leaves emerge, adding subtle seasonal interest. The bright green, feathery leaves create a soft summer canopy, turning yellow in fall, while the exfoliating bark provides winter appeal. Its naturally rounded, multi-stemmed habit makes it ideal for stream edges, wet soils, or as a specimen tree in larger landscapes.
