Discover the remarkable Betula davurica, commonly known as Asian Black Birch or Dahurian Birch, an exquisite tree native to the scenic forests and mountain slopes of northeastern Asia, including China, Manchuria, Korea, and Japan. This deciduous broadleaf tree, part of the Betulaceae family, showcases a stunning rounded form with horizontal branching, reaching a mature height of 40-50 feet and a spread of 20-30 feet. Its distinctive dark gray to gray-brown bark peels and curls in an eye-catching, shaggy manner, adding significant visual interest throughout the winter months.

In spring, Dahurian Birch adorns itself with tiny, monoecious flowers, featuring brownish male catkins and greenish female catkins, adding a touch of elegance to your garden as April arrives. The lush, dark green leaves, with their unique serrate margins and pointed tips, transform into a vibrant yellow in the fall, presenting a spectacular seasonal display.

Ideal for USDA Zones 4 to 7, this adaptable tree thrives in acidic, medium to wet soils under full sun to part shade, tolerating even drier conditions than many other birch species. Resistant to the typical threats of the bronze birch borer, Asian Black Birch is a resilient choice for any landscape, whether gracing lawns, parks, or commercial properties. Its ability to withstand wet soils makes it perfect for areas near ponds or streams, and its compatibility with darker foliage ensures striking contrasts year-round. Enhance your outdoor space with the enduring beauty and charm of Betula davurica.
