River Birch vs American SycamoreBetula nigra Platanus occidentalis 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.
American Sycamore is the largest tree native to eastern North America. Generally too large and messy to be a street tree, American Sycamore thrives in large, open spaces, such as an acreage or farm. RIVER BIRCH QUICK FACTSAMERICAN SYCAMORE QUICK FACTS
