The Paper Birch is also known as the Canoe Birch in its native North America.
The waterproof bark of this birch was used in making canoes by the Indians. It makes a medium to large tree with a conical habit. It has white, papery bark, the colour being carried high into the canopy, and attractive yellow autumn foliage. One of the most elegant of trees for parks.
It does best on moist, but well drained sandy soil, but tolerates most.
Mature height: 15-20m
