Nursery contributed plant descriptions

An exciting, less seen River Birch. Its exfoliating bark exposes the brown under layer, making for year-round interest. A medium/fast grower, it will do as well in wet soils as well-drained. The leaves, which are smaller than the other River Birches, have ivory-white leaf margins and a green center. Pretty yellow fall color. Growth Rate medium
River Birch has always been appreciated for its peeling bark ; disease resistance... but with its foliage "splashed" ; edged with cream, this one is special; to 30-40', protect from afternoon sun. S-PS/M PPAF
