River Birch vs Dahurian BirchBetula nigra Betula davurica SOLD OUT ONLY AVAILABLE BY CONTRACT GROW 
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.
Dahurian Birch is a rare and interesting ornamental with curling bark. This tree is the first to sprout on bare land and is tolerant of dry, gravelly, and infertile soils. Dahurian Birch can grow in industrial areas or exposed land as long as it has full sunlight. RIVER BIRCH QUICK FACTSDAHURIAN BIRCH QUICK FACTS
