River Birch vs Black WalnutBetula nigra Juglans nigra ONLY AVAILABLE BY CONTRACT GROW 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.
The Black Walnut is a slow growing, large, straight-stemmed tree with an open crown. It produces dense, very hard, edible nuts. Note: Although self-pollinating, planting two trees significantly improves nut production. RIVER BIRCH QUICK FACTSBLACK WALNUT QUICK FACTS
