Paper Birch Live Tree | Betula papyrifera | Native White Birch Starter Tree

Add timeless beauty to your landscape with Paper Birch, a greenhouse-grown starter live tree prized for its striking white peeling bark, graceful branching, and brilliant golden fall foliage. Betula papyrifera, commonly known as Paper Birch, White Birch, or Canoe Birch, is a hardy North American native deciduous tree admired for its year-round ornamental appeal and importance to wildlife. It is an excellent choice for native landscapes, woodland gardens, wildlife habitats, shade gardens, and naturalized areas. With proper care, it develops into an elegant shade tree that provides beauty throughout every season.

Paper Birch thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers moist, well-draining soil rich in organic matter. It performs best in cooler climates and benefits from consistent moisture during hot weather. Its iconic white bark becomes increasingly ornamental as the tree matures, while its golden-yellow autumn foliage creates a spectacular seasonal display. The tree produces small catkins in spring that provide an early pollen source, while seeds and branches offer food and shelter for birds and wildlife.

You will receive one healthy, greenhouse-grown Paper Birch starter tree, carefully packaged for safe arrival.
