Our current inventory of Betula Nigra (River Birch) is presented below by five (5) available sizes along with their individual wholesale price (cost varies per size and quantity).

 A popular tree of moist to wet soils, common alder is a moderate to fast-growing (two feet per year) deciduous tree. This upright, columnar cultivar to 20-foot spread and a 12 to 18-inch trunk. The two to four-inch-wide, dark green, roundish leaves with toothed edges and pale undersides are joined in spring by rather insignificant male and female flowers. Foliage remains green well into the fall. It is the fruits which are most interesting, small, nutlike, one-inch "cones" which persist throughout the fall and winter, long after the darkening leaves have fallen. These fruits, along with the attractive, dark brown, furrowed bark, make alder an attractive landscape specimen throughout the winter.
