papyrifera, is also known as a Paper Birch, White Birch, Canoe
Birch. Paper Birch trees are the most widely distributed (east
to west) of all North American birches.
The graceful form and attractive white bark of paper birch make
it a prized species for ornamental planting and landscaping

characteristic white colour as the tree matures. The trunk
generally divides into several arching branches. This deciduous
tree tolerates alkaline soils well. Paper birch are fast growing
