Care Instructions Light: Full sun to light shade Water: Keep consistently moist, especially during establishment Soil: Prefers moist or wet soils; tolerates clay Pruning: Prune in late winter to remove dead or crossing branches Fertilizer: Wait until established before fertilizing Planting Tips River Birch can be planted in spring or fall. In cooler northern areas, fall planting supports root growth while the tree is dormant. Spring planting works well across its range. Use the 3-pack to plant a clump or staggered group for a natural look. Plant at nursery depth, water deeply, and mulch to conserve moisture.
