BETULA NIG CITY SLICKER
Grower Notes:
The City Slicker® birch is an easy to grow, low maintenance, broadly pyramidal, deciduous tree with unique exfoliating bark. This popular cultivar is a natural sport of Betula nigra and noteworthy for its creamy white, paper-like, exfoliating bark and glossy, dark green foliage that turns golden yellow in fall. The City Slicker® is deer resistant, fast growing, and can be drought tolerant once established. This adaptable cultivar is highly recommended as an accent or shade tree.
