TREE

Betula nigra, or black birch, is an elegant ornamental tree prized for its decorative bark, which exfoliates in large patches of cinnamon brown, cream, and salmon pink, creating a unique textured effect year-round. This fast-growing birch forms a broad, light silhouette with light green foliage that turns golden yellow in autumn. Highly resistant to heat and humidity, it also tolerates poor, soggy soils, making it an ideal choice for wetlands or riverbanks. Hardy and adaptable, Betula nigra is a versatile tree that combines aesthetics, resilience, and low maintenance, perfect for large gardens, parks, or row plantings.
