The Renaissance Oasis® Paper Birch (Betula papyrifera 'Oenci') is a striking, medium to large deciduous tree with a broad, dense pyramidal form that makes it an excellent choice for landscapes. This birch offers beautiful bark that changes over time, starting as a rich mahogany-red color and gradually peeling to reveal bright white layers, adding a dynamic textural element throughout the year. Its dark green leaves turn a brilliant yellow in the fall, providing a colorful seasonal display.
This variety is highly drought-tolerant once established and demonstrates superior resistance to the bronze birch borer, a common pest of birch trees, making it a durable and low-maintenance choice for various settings. It thrives in full to partial sun and is well-suited to a range of soil types, particularly in cold climates down to Zone 3.
Renaissance Oasis® Paper Birch is perfect for homeowners seeking a hardy, visually striking tree with year-round appeal and robust resistance to pests and drought.
