River Birch is a deciduous tree with attractive, buff-colored peeling bark and small, finely toothed leaves. It grows 30 to 40 feet tall and 20 to 30 feet wide. Available as a single or multi-stemmed tree. Leaves are green in the summer, with strong yellow fall color. Buff to brown catkins hang in little clusters during the summer months, persisting into winter. Tolerates moist soils, so place it near the lawn where it will benefit from the supplemental water without injury.
