White (Paper) Birch 3-4 ft. **Online Special-Limited Inventory**
White Birch (Betula papyrifera) is a striking northern hardwood known for its bright white, peeling bark and graceful, upright form, bringing four‑season beauty to restoration sites and home landscapes alike. Native across the Great Lakes and boreal regions, it thrives in full sun and cool, well‑drained soils, growing quickly to 40–70 feet with an airy, open crown. Its chalk‑white bark curls into papery layers as it matures, creating iconic winter contrast, while spring catkins support early pollinators and its small seeds feed finches and other songbirds. White Birch is an important pioneer species, stabilizing disturbed soils and adding visual lightness to mixed plantings. Hardy, cold‑tolerant, and ecologically valuable, it’s an excellent choice for naturalized areas, wildlife plantings, and northern woodland edges.
