Years ago when I was in the 8th grade I would go fishing along the Delaware River at night. I would camp along the river bank and fish into the wee hours of the night. I am always drifting back to those childhood memories when I pass a river birch tree that is highlighted by lights at night. The night time interest that this tree expresses can help capture moments for you. For sportsmen this tree is great for wildlife habitats…. This tree when grown as a multi stemmed tree is seldom buck rubbed and will maintain lower branches giving your habitat great cover for wildlife.

The main feature of this medium sized spreading tree is its colorful peeling bark. This builds up on the stem and main branches in soft curling layers of orange, pink, Grey and brown. Another great advantage of this species is its tolerance of wet soil and seasonal flooding making it an ideal pond or riverbank tree. Specimens often develop multiple stems which increases the attractiveness its shaggy bark. As an ornamental tree it also has bright green, toothed leaves and long yellow clusters of catkins in early spring. It will have a spreading root system that will check erosion. It is hardy and will seldom blow down. The plant is native to the eastern states from Massachusetts to Florida. The range continues along the Gulf of Mexico and into Texas.

If you have had trouble planting a tree the River Birch is a choice that is easy to transplant. Many people consider this one of the easiest hardwood trees to transplant. They are adaptable and grow fast. These trees do not seem to be bothered by the Bronzed Birch Borer which has killed off many White Birches used in urban landscapes.
There are over 15000+ River Birch trees ready for you at our Doylestown Pa nursery. These include small seedlings and trees that range to up to 4″ in caliber. Please note that the 4″ caliper birches are “Heritage River Birches” and these separate the men from the boys. I want to remain a boy all my life. The 4″ trees are huge and it takes a crew of at least 4 or 5 people to install one. These trees are the largest that we can handle and there are a few out in the rows that will need a digger larger than what our capacities enable us to dig. We can arrange for one of our sub contractors to dig and install if needed. We can also do conservation plantings and mass birch tree plantings for recreational habitat improvement projects.

An ideal location for a vacation is by the beach, a lake or by any other water body. Lakeside or beach side vacations call for a lot of water sports and activities. Those of adventurous spirit could enjoy swimming, scuba diving, snorkeling, jet-skiing or water gliding. Fishing is also an interesting and fun activity that one can undertake. Fishing can demand a lot of your patience. At the same time, the joy you experience when you haul a catch is overwhelming. Some people like fishing from the pier while some like to venture out into the ocean, river or lake and wait for their prize catch. Fishing boats play an important role if you want to have a really enjoyable fishing experience.

If you are travelling to a far away location for your holiday, it’s not always possible or practicable to tow along your fishing boat. Most beach resorts and lakeside vacationing areas have facilities for fishing boat rentals. If you enjoy fishing and you are on a spontaneous trip, then this option would be a boon to you. Boat rental agencies have different kinds of fishing boats for you to choose from. Some agencies even supply equipment such as fishing rods, reels, hooks lines and lures, along with the boat. (more…)
