Due to its affinity for wet, heavy soil, planting a river birch tree can fill in spaces where nothing else seems to grow. If you have water on your property, consider lining it with river birch trees. If you don’t, planting a river birch tree, or two, in your yard will make for an attractive specimen and shade tree.

In addition to proper watering, consider planting river birch in areas with full sun or partial shade. They thrive in well-draining soil and also benefit from mulching to retain moisture and suppress weeds. With the right care, river birch trees provide beauty and shade, enhancing your landscape for years to come.
