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.
