Betula Nigra (Tropical Birch) is a unique and hardy tree that is native to the eastern United States. Known for its striking bark, which peels in thin, papery layers, the Tropical Birch adds a distinctive touch to any landscape. This tree’s bark begins as smooth and light grey before transitioning to a darker, more textured appearance with age.
In addition to its ornamental bark, the Tropical Birch also boasts attractive, triangular leaves that turn a rich yellow in autumn. This fast-growing tree is particularly valued for its ability to thrive in wet soils, making it an excellent choice for rain gardens or low-lying areas that require water-loving plants.
