The valley is home to river birch and sycamore trees.
It is almost as if, by morning, we expect cascading river birches, orange coneflowers and blue bamboo to be flourishing in the garden.
Trees include six species of oak as well as ash, hickory, pine, river birch, and willow.

Grass is even better than pine needles, and tomorrow I am going to try the outside bark of the river birch.
Growing in popularity, however, is the handsome river birch.
And I bought 14 river birches from a wholesaler in Ohio to make a grove.
It is covered in a forest of river birch, silver maple and sycamore trees.
I chose these because of their disease resistance, and because river birches used to grow around here.
The area is heavily forested, containing river birch, silver maple, red maple, jack pine, and oak.
