Paper Birch

Betula papyrifera

  • Single-stemmed tree up to 10m tall
  • Young branches are deep bronze colour, older wood (5 year) starts to get white
  • Small fine-textured leaves give a light mottled shade
  • Non-persistent catkins are desired by our small winter birds
  • Bright yellow fall colour

Landscape Use:

  • Use as a winter accent plant with its excellent winter bark colour
  • Relatively small-headed tree works well in limited space sites
  • Groves very well if planted in multiples
  • Provides a light shade with good screening abilities
  • Selected seed source by Exshaw shows some hybridization with River Birch, giving rise to eye-catching red, orange and white combination bark colours
  • Red polls, finches and chickadees feed on the seed in the winter
  • Flexible light requirements, full sun to partial shade

    • Special Conditions:

    • Although this seed source does not require extreme amounts of water, it will perform best in a mulched bed
    • Health and vigor of this plant is not affected by birch leaf miners, and it is best to ignore them if they do appear; no need for chemical treatments
