About the Canoe Birch, Paper Birch
As this specimen native tree matures, the bark develops creamy-white areas and peals off in papery layers. It tends to be columnar shaped with heights to 50 ft and widths at maturity of approximately 15-20 ft.. Does well in well drained to slightly moist soils. Very attractive in groves. Probably one of the best choices among the native trees as a street tree,
