    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    This birch is simply glorious. Our mature plant is 35 years old and 20'x 15'. The flesh, pink, cream colored bark truly is alive during the winter. I see our plant outside my kitchen every day and it's always lovely. Yellow fall foliage follows deep green summer leaves.

    This is a little known or grown species. The bark is a beautiful, rich orange red that peels off in thin, tissue-like sheets. The apple green leaves turn golden in the fall. The tree can grow from 40 to 90' in height. A very beautiful single or multitrunked tree.
