Why it rocks:

Whitespire Birch has a nice narrow, pyramidal size and a chalky white bark that looks great all season long. The bright green leaves rustle in the wind and turn the brightest yellow in the fall. This tree also features interesting catkins which grace the tree in the summer. Whitespire Birch is our only recommended white-barked birch because of its resistance to bronze birch borer and Japanese beetle.

Birch trees are also commonly used in the front or back landscape to provide accent or anchoring, or around a deck or patio to provide shade and screening.
