Description

Betula nigra, in Coy Pond Gardens Bournemouth, where the ground is reliably wet. "This River Birch is a tree rivalled in its suitability for wet sites only by Alders and Willows, and once established, will also thrive in less moist conditions. The shaggy, ruffled bark of this spectacular tree makes for brilliant year round interest in an array of colours. With attractive base tones of creamy-grey and cinnamon brown, highlighted with hints of pinky-orange, purple and gold. The leaves are diamond shaped and green, turning golden in autumn. This form of Betula nigra has a statuesque form and will look stunning planted in a group or individually as a specimen tree. In its single stem form a height and spread of 8 x 4 metres can be expected in 20 years. Tolerant of most except dry soils and conditions this beautiful birch would make a wonderfully tactile addition to any garden." Information from The Ornamental Tree Nurseries web site.

Spectacular is a good word for this. The other image is even more colorful. The aboriginal peoples of the Eastern United States used to use the bark for canoes.
