River Birch vs Ussurian Pear (Siberian)Betula nigra Pyrus ussuriensis SOLD OUT SOLD OUT 
River Birch has beautiful, peeling, brown bark that reveals camel-colored and pink beneath. It is more borer resistant than white bark birches, which makes it a much longer-lived landscape tree.
Ussurian Pear (aka Manchurian or Siberian Pear) is the most cold hardy of all pear species. RIVER BIRCH QUICK FACTSUSSURIAN PEAR (SIBERIAN) QUICK FACTS
