River Birch vs Tulip PoplarBetula nigra Liriodendron tulipifera ONLY AVAILABLE BY CONTRACT GROW 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.
Tulip Poplar is the perfect shade tree for wide open spaces. It has a shallow and extensive root system, so ensure you give it space to grow. The attractive and showy, yellow-orange, tulip shaped flowers are where this tree gets its name. RIVER BIRCH QUICK FACTSTULIP POPLAR QUICK FACTS
