River Birch vs WinterberryBetula nigra Ilex verticillata 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.
Winterberry is a small shrub that produces large quantities of bright red berries that remain on the plant through the fall and into the winter. Adding this shrub to your yard will give it a unique splash of color and attract birds, especially after the leaves drop. RIVER BIRCH QUICK FACTSWINTERBERRY QUICK FACTS
