How to Use Shiloh Splash River Birch in the Landscape

You might be surprised at the versatility of these lovely trees. A single tree creates a specimen to study in all seasons.

Use three in a charming grouping at a point of transition in your yard. Create a twist, or wide bend in a garden path and place a few chairs under their refreshing shade.

Plant a curving series of these pretty trees along a pond. Site them where you'll be able to enjoy their reflections, as well.

Mix them into a collection of River Birches. Nature Hills is pleased to offer so many eye-catching varieties for sale.

They'll make cunning screening plants, as well. Try a few behind your patio seating, and rest and relax in private style.

Up-light into the canopy with outdoor lighting. Why not extend the value and enjoyment of your plant material and landscape into the nighttime hours?

River Birches can tolerate periodically moist soils. Add them to the mesic zone in sculpted Rain Gardens to filter water runoff from roofs and streets.

They partner beautifully with rough-textured Prairie plants like Black-Eyed Susan and Coneflower. Underplant with low shrubs as ground cover while planting, and let them grow up together.

Or, create a very modern look in a streamlined raised bed. Add a single variety of groundcover underneath with an oversized gazing ball as décor. No need to "gild the lily" with this glorious selection.

#ProPlantTips for Care

In all but the warmest zones, Shiloh Splash River Birch can be grown in full sun. In warmer climates, give them part shade during the afternoon hours.

Mulch is important to keep the root system cool. Apply a three-inch layer of pine bark or pine straw, then pull it back from around the trunk.

We recommend a medium amount of supplemental water if you don't receive rainfall. They can even tolerate occasional wetter soil for short periods, so you can site them in low-lying areas.

Feed with an "Acid Lovers" formula, slow-release fertilizer in spring. Follow application rates on the label.

If you need to correct the canopy, wait to prune until after the leaves come out in spring. This helps you avoid dripping sap.
