I am in love with birch trees, and now that we own our own place I can actually plant big things like trees. I have an ideal birch tree spot that will keep the roots cool and moist, the leaves sunny, and is right where I can see it from nearly any spot in my front or back yard. But which kind?
The kind I love is the kind with the cut-edged leaves and weeping branches. Locally, I see at the nurseries that "river birch" is most common. Is that the kind I'm looking for? A tree is a long-term commitment, and I don't want to get it wrong!
