Betula nigra
Betula nigra, also known as the black birch, is a highly ornamental North American native tree, valued for its high tolerance to humidity and its unique exfoliating bark in shades of beige, pink, and cinnamon. Often cultivated in a multi-stemmed form, it brings a natural sculptural structure to the garden, especially in winter. Its bright green foliage turns golden yellow in autumn, contrasting beautifully with its textured trunks. With its broad, supple, and slightly drooping habit, it integrates perfectly into specimen plantings, waterside settings, or naturalistic gardens. Very hardy, low-maintenance, and quick to establish, the black birch is an excellent ecological and ornamental choice for the humid climates of Quebec.
