It is easy to understand why the River Birch is such a popular tree.

• Fast growing (up to 2-3 feet a year).
• Adapts to various soil types.
• Quick source of shade with unique peeling bark

This distinctive tree is easy to grow and can be found adding character in nicely landscaped yards from Minnesota to Florida. It adapts well to both wet and dry planting sites and tolerates modest drought and mild floods.

River Birch demonstrates strong wind and ice damage resistance due to the strength of their branches and limbs. If you have severe ice storms, this is the tree for you.

You will love the unique colors the delicate bark adds to your yard. The natural peeling effect exposes flakes of salmon or cinnamon under the top light taupe outer skin.

With this texture and interest on the trunk, you’ll enjoy great winter interest with River Birch planted where you can enjoy its delicate beauty through the windows of your home.

River Birch is a truly beautiful tree for all seasons… made so popular in many states because it is adaptable to almost all growing zones across the country. You can grow this tree in any state in the US.

It's Easy to Plant your River Birch
Step 1 - Dig Your Hole Select a site with full to partial sun and moist or well drained soil for your River Birch. If you're planting a hedge, mark out a visual guide by placing stakes five to six feet apart and looping string around them. Plant the trees where the stakes are and they'll grow together to make a dense privacy screen. First, dig each hole so that it is just shallower than the root ball and at least twice the width. Then loosen the soil in the planting hole so the roots can easily break through. Use your shovel or try dragging the points of a pitch fork along the sides and bottom of the hole.

Step 2 - Place Your Tree Next, separate the roots of your River Birch gently with your fingers and position them downward in the hole. The top of the root flare, where the roots end and the trunk begins, should be about an inch above the surrounding soil. Then make sure the tree is exactly vertical in the hole. To make it just right, use a level.
Step 3 - Backfill Your Hole As you backfill the hole, apply water to remove air pockets. Remove debris like stones and grass and completely break up any dirt clumps. Water your River Birch again after the transplant is complete. To help retain some of that moisture, it's recommended that you place mulch around each tree to a depth of 2"-3" up to but not touching the trunk. Organic mulches such as wood chips or pine needles also help to better soil structure as they decompose.

We have a number of River Birches on our property. They are a pretty tree with an interesting shaggy bark, however, this is a very messy tree. You will constantly be picking up twigs and branches that fall out with just the slightest breeze.

I am a tree lover. I was not familiar with the River Birch but I tried it anyway and I am so happy that I did. It is doing beautifully.

I purchased the river birch expecting a small, sickly looking tree. IU was really surprised tto see the box and the way it was shipped. I planted it late fall and this spring it is growing beautiful. Very healthy, strong tree that is over 10' tall and going great. I will using this company for all my garden needs.

This river birch treat was carefully shipped to me and was in great shape, I was surprised of the quality and it did grow quickly, would love to buy another once I find a place to plant it. :)

By: Tim in Florida

I purchased this tree here three years ago. I live in the Orlando area, and birch trees are not common here, but I decided to purchase to see if I could get the tree to take to our different climate. We are starting our third growing season, and what started out as a four foot tree is now approx 9 feet, and I'm guessing its circumference is fifteen to twenty feet! It is growing very well, althought I have to keep an eye on rust due to the humidity. This is a winner...and I love the unique beauty it adds to my landscape!!!

By: Deb

Planted this tree a few months ago. It's doing beautiful. I'm so glad we picked this tree.
