River Birch
Best adapted to moist, acid soils, but will survive dry soils. Not bothered by the bronze birch borer. This deciduous tree can withstand extended periods of flooding. The River Birch has dark green summer foliage and turns a golden yellow in the fall. Native, graceful branching, easy to transplant; best not to prune in spring - sap "bleeds" and is heat tolerant. The River Birch tree, Betula Nigra, is a very handsome tree for estates, parks, golf courses and any other large areas. It is excellent in wet soil. Plant as a specimen, or as a windbreak, plant 20’ apart in the row. It displays a light reddish brown cinnamon bark that peels and flakes to give that beautiful look that the birch family is noted for. The River Birch trees are beautiful in the summer and winter, are widely adaptable, and heat tolerant. ... more
Korean Evodia White flowers are borne in mid summer and are quite showy. It is a good honey plant and the foliage looks good all summer. This plant's small size will allow it to be used in restricted spaces, keeping in mind that it is as wide as tall. This plant appears to do better in good soils and seems somewhat intolerant of impoverished soils. The Korean Evodia, 'Evodia daniellii' is one of the few flowering trees that flower in the summer, rather than spring. The bark of older stems and branches resembles beech(smooth gray bark). Fruit remains during the winter and adds interest to an uninteresting time of year. |
