Buy River Birch Trees for sale at Advanced Nursery Growers in DeFuniak Springs, Florida. River Birch, botanically known as Betula nigra, is a native deciduous tree prized for its fast growth and attractive peeling bark.

The bark begins reddish brown and peels in papery curls, giving River Birch year-round interest even after its leaves fall. This tree is especially well suited to moist areas, including sites near streams or ponds. It can grow in the North Florida Panhandle when it has enough water and space for its roots.

Plant Details:

  • Plant Type: Native deciduous shade tree
  • Botanical Name: Betula nigra
  • Common Name: River Birch
  • Mature Size: Commonly about 40–50 feet tall and 25–35 feet wide in landscapes; can grow larger on favorable sites
  • Growth Habit: Fast-growing with an upright crown that broadens with age
  • Sunlight: Full sun to partial shade
  • USDA Zones: 4–9
  • Bark: Reddish-brown to creamy bark that peels in papery layers
  • Foliage: Green leaves with a brief yellow fall color
  • Bloom Time: Spring; flowers are small and inconspicuous
  • Pollination: Grown for its bark and shade; a second tree is not required for these features
  • Soil/Water: Prefers moist, acidic soil. Tolerates periodically wet ground but needs adequate water during dry weather.
  • Landscape Uses: Shade tree, native landscape, pond or streamside planting, and large moist areas
  • Maintenance: Water regularly while establishing and during dry periods. Mulch to help keep the root area cool and moist.

North Florida Growing Note: River Birch can grow well in the DeFuniak Springs area, but it is not a good choice for a hot, dry spot without irrigation. UF/IFAS recommends adequate water and plenty of soil space for plantings in Zone 8b.
