Sometimes when you buy plants and trees from a discount place, things just don't work out. I don't buy their roses anymore and I stay away from some of the shrubs. This river birch is another story.
I bought this five or six years ago and another tree for the neighbor lady. They were inexpensive at the end of the year. I am sure I read the tag, but I thought I was buying clump birch. Thanks to a blogger friend, Connie, I had it properly identified and I am really glad that I bought it. My neighbor lady isn't so sure she likes her tree, but it is thinner and taller than mine with the same textured bark. Mine looks like a disheveled mess all the time as it puts out this wonderful sloughing bark.

It is one of my favorite trees..love that bark..I am so glad you can grow them there..I am also very jealous..as it is too cold here for them to survive. That bark just has personality plus:)
