River Birch
River Birch have attractive exfoliating bark that often peels, and delicate leaves that reduce well in size. They have a graceful, natural shape that can be beautifully accentuated in bonsai form. Birch trees respond well to pruning and wiring, allowing for creative shaping. Their vibrant seasonal color changes, especially in the fall when their leaves turn golden yellow, add to their year-round appeal as a bonsai. Even better, they're native to the USA!
About Our Starters & Stock
As part of their training for future bonsai, our starters and stock trees are periodically pruned or trunk-chopped to encourage strong structure and desirable growth. If you’re purchasing for landscape use and prefer trees that have not been recently pruned or chopped, feel free to contact us before ordering to check the current status of the species you’re interested in!
