River Birch vs Empress TreeBetula nigra Paulownia tomentosa 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.
The Empress Tree is a fast growing, ornamental shade tree. It has purple, fragrant flowers that are quite attractive. The flowers emerge before the leaves in early spring. The leaves of this tree can grow very large, up to 30 cm long. RIVER BIRCH QUICK FACTSEMPRESS TREE QUICK FACTS
