River Birch (Betula nigra) is a fast-growing deciduous tree prized for its graceful form and distinctive curling, peeling bark that reveals creamy white and salmon-pink layers beneath. Its diamond-shaped green leaves turn warm golden yellow in autumn, making it a striking focal point in lawns, woodland edges, and rain gardens.
River Birch works beautifully as a specimen tree, in groupings, or along ponds and low areas where its tolerance for moist ground shines. It offers year-round ornamental interest with attractive foliage, textured bark, and graceful branching.
