Prairie Dream® Paper Birch
The Prairie Dream® Paper Birch, Betula papyrifera 'Varen' (PP15,768), is a beautiful, stress-tolerant selection from North Dakota. The snow white bark exfoliates with age, adding a great deal of winter interest. It displays an attractive, bright golden-yellow autumn color. It is resistant to bronze birch borer. Prairie Dream has a semi-pyramidal to upright-oval growth habit, becoming broadly-oval with age. This deciduous birch is easily grown in average, medium, well-drained soil in full sun to part shade. This easy to grow tree will add color and interest to any yard. This is a clump version of the tree. ... more
Mockernut Hickery The gray bark of this tree is marked with branching ridges and deep furrows. Mockernut hickory is so named because the nuts are large but with thick shells and very small kernels. The twigs are stout and reddish-brown to grayish-brown in color. This tree grows well on rich, moist, well-drained soils of upland areas. Mockernut Hickory trees grow throughout most of the eastern United States and westward to eastern Texas. As with the Shagbark Hickory, the wood of this tree is hard, strong, tough and elastic, and is used in handles for tools and in athletic equipment. |
