River Birch vs American BladdernutBetula nigra Staphylea trifolia 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 Bladdernut is a fast-growing, ornamental shrub native to eastern North America. It can be grown as a large shrub or trained as a small tree. The small, drooping, white flowers are bell-shaped and grow in clusters. They appear in mid to late spring, attracting various pollinators. Well suited as an understory plant as it prefers shady and partial sun location with moist soils. RIVER BIRCH QUICK FACTSAMERICAN BLADDERNUT QUICK FACTS
