http://www.zone5trees.com/Location.html call 215 651 8329 for birch trees.Birch trees are prized for their outstanding bark characteristics and their graceful delicate foliage. Numerous species and cultivars are used in landscapes, and almost all are distinctive in bark coloration, growth form, and susceptibility to certain insect pests. Though homeowners often desire birch as an ornamental tree, they soon discover that birch can be very difficult to maintain as a healthy, long-lived specimen. In many landscapes, birch trees begin to decline within a few years, and many trees die well before reaching maturity. A healthy birch tree should be able to survive and thrive for 40-50 years. In many yards, however, it is not unusual for birch trees, especially the white-barked birches, to die well before reaching 20 years of age.

In many instances, homeowners have predisposed their birch trees to problems by planting and growing them under conditions that are not the best for their survival. Many of these problems can be avoided by following the four basic steps described in this pamphlet:

Select an appropriate location for your birch tree.
Select the most appropriate species or variety of birch.
Follow cultural practices that will maintain a healthy birch tree.
Monitor and control common insect pests of birch trees.
If you already have an established birch tree, the last two steps, proper cultural practices and insect control, can still be used to maintain your tree in a healthy condition.
