DESCRIPTION: Known for its white, exfoliating bark, the paper birch (or canoe birch) is native to Canada and the Northern United States. The bark exfoliates in papery strips to reveal a brownish-orange color beneath. Paper birches perform best in cooler, northern climates and do not tolerate heat and humidity well.
