The low-maintenance Paper Birch is a native deciduous tree known for its wonderful ornamental value. Also called white birch or canoe birch, it’s famous for its bright white bark that peels away in thin, papery layers. A fast-growing tree, it works well as a windbreak and as a stand-alone.
This tree can tolerate normal to wet soil conditions and is non-suckering, so it won’t spread into the rest of your yard.
Seedling size is approximately 12” tall, 1 year old.
