A unique, dwarf selection with an amazing silhouette.

Betula nigra Fox Valley®

Want a river birch, but don;t think you have enough room? Fox Valley is for you. It is the cutest river birch this side of the Mississippi.

Fox Valley® is a deciduous, low-branched, intermediate river birch selection with a uniform broad-pyramidal to broad-rounded habit. No catkins or seed are produced. This plant was chosen for the Chicagoland Grows® Plant Collection because it has a novel habit and beautiful garden silhouette. It is an excellent alternative to other intermediate-sized ornamental trees in the trade. Useful as a specimen in limited space applications where the species would be unsuitable. Neat, compact habit lends itself to low
