White Birch        Betula papyrifera

 

White Birch also known as Paper Birch and Canoe Birch is the most ornamental of the Birch. The bark is chalky white and peels off in paper layers. The Paper Birch grows to 70' in height and has a spread of 40'. This Birch is hardy from zone 2 thru 6. Paper Birch is somewhat pyramidal when young and oval when mature. It is usually grown as a multi-stem tree although single stem Paper Birch are equally as beautiful. It is a fast growing tree, when given enough water and fertilizer these birches can nearly double in height yearly when young. The White Birch leaf is dark green in summer and yellow in the fall. The leaf is  narrow oval and serrated. The flowers are long (1") catkins and the seed is produced in large quantities although seed litter is minimal. These are transplanted easily in the spring as balled and burlapped or rootbag grown trees. Paper Birch is a tree for northern climates as heat stress is a problem when grown south of Cincinnati to St. Louis line. It handles moisture well and prefers full sun. White Birch is susceptible to the Birch Borer and in some areas it has reduced the population of birch substantially. Paper Birch is easily propagated by rooted cuttings. This Birch is a high maintenance tree, but you may get lucky and enjoy many years with your tree.  We sell White Birch wholesale and retail.
