River
birch has a narrow, oval to pyramidal crown when young, that spreads wider with
age. It is distinguished by bronze colored bark that peels off in
film-like papery curls. River birch are best grown well spaced to produce
single specimens. Clumps planting produces weak, vulnerable trunks.
Branches have a drooping form and pruning is recommended while trees are young
to remove lower branches. Would do very well on the edge of a wetland,
very aesthetically pleasing.
