River Birch vs Yellow BirchBetula nigra Betula alleghaniensis 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.
Yellow Birch is a large and valuable hardwood species in northeastern North America. The bark on its limbs and young trunks is silvery-yellowish in colour, hence the name. This tree prefers to grow in cool regions with damp or saturated soil. RIVER BIRCH QUICK FACTSYELLOW BIRCH QUICK FACTS
