The Renaissance Oasis Birch tree is known for its mahogany-reddish exfoliating bark, which peels away to reveal a bright white layer underneath, creating a striking contrast. It has dark green foliage and a broadly pyramidal to oval shape that adds structure to any landscape. In the fall, the leaves turn a vibrant yellow, enhancing its seasonal charm. Notably, this variety is among the most drought-tolerant of its species, making it a resilient and low-maintenance choice.
Renaissance Oasis was bred for increased resistance to Bronze Birch Borer. In autumn, the white bark and yellow foliage make a striking contrast against the bright red leaves of the red maple or dark coloured evergreens. Though paper birches can tolerate drought, they grow best with cool roots. Underplant with a ground cover or mulch well, taking care to not heap mulch against the stem.
