I've never thought about how many types of birch trees there are before. I wanted a river birch planted in my yard and the landscaper messed up and planted a Japanese Birch. It was in the ground before I realized the mistake. I think they're both different than the paper birch in my photos that grows in the forests of the northern part of the state.

Yeah, I had a look on Google this morning but it wasn't clear @melinda010100.
Are you happy with your Japanese Birch not it's in?
It seems to be doing well and I'm sure it will be a pretty tree but I still want to plant River Birch! I've been thinking about where I can have one planted next spring. I have three ash trees in my yard that are dying from a borer that is attacking the trees. I've already had three cut down and I have two more that still have leaves on them but don't look real healthy. So planting trees is important!
Sounds good. I don't think I've ever lived anywhere with a big enough garden to consider planting trees.
Nowadays we just have a few pots and a couple of hay baskets. Which reminds me, we bought some violas before we went away and didn't have time to plant them.
It's been pretty warm since we've been back. I hope they're not dead. I forgot all about them. 😱
