White birch is a graceful deciduous tree with distinctive white bark and delicate foliage that turns golden in fall. It prefers consistently moist soil and benefits from mulching to keep roots cool and retain moisture. Regular watering during dry periods is essential, especially for young trees establishing their root systems.
