River Birch features serrated leaves that display a dark green color in the summer and turn bright yellow in the fall. Its salmon-pink to reddish-brown bark exfoliates to reveal a lighter inner bark, adding to its visual appeal. Renowned for its distinctive bark characteristics, this plant makes an excellent specimen for any landscape.

One of the most disease-free birches. Use as a specimen or in small groupings in any landscape, and in particular for wet soils along ponds, streams or in low areas. It can be grown as a single-stemmed specimen or multi-stemmed tree.
