About This Product

The River Birch is a versatile, fast-growing tree celebrated for its unique, peeling cinnamon-colored bark that provides year-round visual appeal. Its light green, diamond-shaped leaves turn butter-yellow in the fall, adding seasonal color to the landscape. Because of its tolerance for wet conditions, it is an excellent choice for areas with poor drainage.
