River Birch, Avalanche #7

Avalanche™ Birch Betula x Despite its minimal wood value, this deciduous tree is commonly utilized in decorative plantings in the distinctly less humid climates from where it originated, particularly in the northern and western limits of its natural range, due to its graceful form and beautiful bark.  It is one of the best shade trees that grows quickly. It is prized as a landscaping tree because of its vibrant, exfoliating bark, which looks especially striking in the winter.  It is a good alternative to pest-prone paper and white birches and is among the birches that can withstand the most heat and cultural changes.
