River Birch vs ButternutBetula nigra Juglans cinerea ONLY AVAILABLE BY CONTRACT GROW NOT AVAILABLE THIS SEASON 
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.
Butternut is one of the few walnut varieties native to Canada. The nuts are sought after for their mild, sweet, and oily taste. Ensure this tree is planted in full sun and well-drained soil for best results. RIVER BIRCH QUICK FACTSBUTTERNUT QUICK FACTS
