River Birch is a unique tree known for its striking, salmon-colored bark that peels in papery curls and provides year-round visual interest. Its rich, layered trunk texture makes it just as eye-catching in winter landscapes as it is in summer, spring, or fall. With a graceful oval to cone-shaped canopy and gently arching branches, river birches add softness and movement to your yard. They grow quickly and adapt well to a variety of soil conditions, especially moist or periodically wet areas.
