Comments:
May be the rarest native tree existing in the wild. At present it is impossible for a homeowner to purchase this tree. The roundness of the leaves and darkness of the bark set this birch apart from all others. A small tree with slender branches and a narrow crown. Autumn foliage color is a brilliant yellow.
