Yellow Birch (Betula alleghaniensis)

10 Gallon  Light: Full Sun - Part ShadeSoil: Medium - Medium WetMature Height: 40 feetMature Width: 30 feet Description: A moderate to fast-growing birch that prefers moist garden soil and some protection. You must be prepared to water because it does not tolerate drought (4 weeks of no rain). This birch is the most shade-tolerant of its family, needing only a few hours of sunlight. Should be planted in an area of the yard that is readily accessible so you can break off a twig. The broken twigs smell and taste like wintergreen.
