River Birch. Betula nigra, commonly known as river birch, is a deciduous tree native to the eastern United States and is widely recognized for its distinctive peeling bark. The bark of younger trees is particularly notable for its papery layers that peel away to reveal colors ranging from creamy white to salmon-pink and reddish-brown, giving the tree a striking, textured appearance. As the tree matures, the bark becomes more rugged and deeply fissured, turning dark brown or gray. This peeling characteristic makes the river birch a popular ornamental choice for gardens and landscapes. In addition to its visual appeal, Betula nigra is highly adaptable, thriving in moist soils and flood-prone areas, and is often planted along riverbanks and wetlands for erosion control.
