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.
These seedlings are greenhouse grown peat plugs transplanted to our bareroot fields for a second growing season. Better branched with greater root mass than container seedlings.
