Distribution: White birch is distributed from southern Manitoba to southern Alaska and North Dakota and south to California and New Mexico. For current distribution, please consult the Plant profile page for this species on the PLANTS Web site.

Adaptation
Betula occidentalis is very shade tolerant. It is mostly found in wet to moist nutrient-rich soils, along streams, in mountain canyons, usually in coniferous forest (Little 1980). Water birch occurs on a wide variety of soil textures generally at low to middle elevations.

Establishment
Propagation from Seed: Seeds may be collected from local trees for establishing nursery stock. Sow the seeds as soon as they are ripe in containers or seed trays containing a slow-release fertilized. Firm the medium and sow the seeds thinly and evenly on top, and lightly cover with medium. Once the seedlings are large enough to handle they should be placed into individual pots. Once seedlings are 18-30 inches tall remove from individual pots and outplant to premature location.

Management
Nursery grown seedlings should be planted onto moist sites. The seedlings should be transplanted when they are one to two years old. The best time for transplanting is in the spring
