Plant details
This is one of the best birches from eastern North America because of its yellow-green summer leaves that turn golden yellow in the autumn, and dark, red brown bark on a slender stem. The yellowish-brown catkins appear during early spring, and dangle from the upward-pointing branches. Once planted, there's little else to do, but make sure that the immediate area is weed-free, and if planting in a lawn keep the grass away to avoid damaging the trunk with a strimmer.
