Paper Birch Live Tree | Betula papyrifera Starter Tree

About This Plant

Paper Birch (Betula papyrifera), also known as White Birch or Canoe Birch, is a native North American deciduous tree prized for its distinctive white peeling bark, graceful upright growth, and brilliant golden fall foliage. This is a greenhouse-grown starter live tree suitable for native landscapes, woodland gardens, wildlife habitats, shade gardens, and naturalized areas. It grows best in full sun to partial shade with moist, well-draining soil rich in organic matter.

The tree is valued for year-round ornamental appeal and its role in wildlife as a food and shelter source. With proper care, it can develop into a long-lived shade tree.
