Today’s post will be all about the photos. Photos of the three new River Birches that were planted by Rutgers Nursery this morning:
Enjoy:
I feel sorry for these two guys. They had to get deep into the clay to plant the 16 foot trees.
Never mind, they used this Auger. Piece of cake (I kid).
Look at that determination and focus.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Have I mentioned how phenomenal this nursery is? Incredible job every time.
Look at the multiple trunks and peeling bark. It had me at “hello”.
Did I mention the bark?
One last one
I can’t tell you how invigorated I feel having these River Birch (Betula Nigra) planted. They add so much character to the backyard and open up a world of possibilities for integrating them into the overall design. And they like to drink water and I got plenty for them.
Before I go, I will again rave about the job Rutgers Nursery has done once again. They are planted perfectly, have a one year warranty (no questions asked) and the trees are in absolute perfect condition. Of course, you wouldn’t expect anything differently with this nursery that is THE NURSERY in my neck of the woods in New Jersey. Check them out if you can. You will not regret it:
Also check out the blog they write for oodles of information:
Enjoy the rest of the weekend.
Make sure you pull the mulch back from teh trunks, though, at least a few inches. I love my river birch! Have three (got one for free, rescued it–oh wait, I have 4, rescued two).
Great to watch someone else work, isn’t it! The trees look wonderful.
Looks AWESOME John! I can feel your excitement!
Oh, I just love birch trees, especially the bark. We had one in our front yard at our house in California. I hope have many years of enjoyment with your new trees.
By the way, did we mention to Rutgers Nursery that this is our son!

I am so depressed! Birches are trees I can only dream about in Sydney. Yesterday, I went to the nursery to look at trees (I am currently obsessed by trees, as we have NONE on our patch) and asked the nursery guy about this birch tree they had in a huge pot. Will this grow in Sydney? He said, no chance…Why, why, why did they have it for sale???? To torture people!?
I planted five ‘Heritage’ River Birches when I lived in Rosemont, oh, about 7 years ago (from Rutgers Nursery). They’ve grown really fast. They’re around the little white farm house directly across from the Rosemont cemetery.
