River Birch vs Water Birch (Red Birch)Betula nigra Betula Occidentalis SOLD OUT SOLD OUT (we don't know if or when this product will be restocked) 
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.
Water Birch, also known as Red Birch, is a waterside plant native to western North America. This multi-stemmed species is ideal for wetlands. It tolerates being planted in heavy clay and wet soil conditions. RIVER BIRCH QUICK FACTSWATER BIRCH (RED BIRCH) QUICK FACTS
