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.
Cutleaf Weeping Birch is a tall, deciduous cultivar known for its pronounced weeping branches and ferny green leaves.
It features showy, peeling white bark and brilliant yellow leaves in the fall. Cutleaf Weeping Birch makes an exceptional accent tree for suburban yards.
If you are attracted to this tree, also look at the European White Birch which is similar.
