Plant Description

River Birch, Betula nigra, is a native tree to the United States. River Birch is a type of deciduous tree that is wonderful for moist, wet soils. It is relatively disease resistant. It makes an excellent tree for urban environments and can be managed easily. River Birch is a specimen tree that has an exfoliating bark that exposes the inner bark which can be colored gray-brown to cinnamon brown to reddish brown and salmon pink. For these reasons, it is an excellent tree for home landscaping.

Planting Instructions - Dig a hole three times the diameter of the root system, with a depth no deeper than the original soil line on stem. Break up the soil to the finest consistency possible. Place plant in hole and fill, compacting the fill dirt. Water the plant heavily to seal soil around the roots and remove air pockets. Fertilize according to the recommendation of your local agriculture extension agents, or fertilize based on your own knowledge and experience.
