    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    Birches look especially nice growing in clumps, which you can accomplish by getting three small trees and planting them in one large hole or by letting us do the work! Selected at the University of Wisconsin, this handsome upright growing 20-40' x 20' tree offers conspicuous chalk white non-peeling bark along with glossy, deep, dark green, fine textured foliage; this cultivar is tolerant of high temperatures and has good resistance to the birch borer; an excellent tree for wide use.
