Betula papyrifera or Paper Birch

From North America the Paper Birch is an attractive deciduous tree with wonderful white peeling bark. Over time Betula papyrifera can reach around 10 – 15m however this will depend on the cultivar and the growing conditions. Lovely colour in autumn.

The bark of this tree is what gives it its appeal, it peels off in large sheets, like paper. It is the attractive nature of the peeling bark on the trunks of mature specimens that makes this such a wonderful specimen tree.The bark colour of younger trees tends towards a tan or brown, on older specimens the bark is white and smooth, peeling away in large flaky sheets.

Also known as the Canoe Birch, the bark is waterproof and was used to make the skins of canoes.

Landscaping uses include use as a feature tree in a lawn, or planted in an avenue, they are also suited for use as background trees in the garden border.

Care

As long as the soil is well drained Betula papyrifera is happy, in clay soils it will tend to struggle. An open sunny position is best for good growth.

Landscaping Uses

Excellent as a feature tree where mature specimens are magnificent.
