Mona and Elaine these would certainly NOT bloom in your parts of the country. Sorry to read that yours are not blooming texwisgirl, guess they are getting TOO much of the sun they thrive on.<br /><br />Yeah Larry, you would think they were dying when the shedding starts and I read quite a few online gardening forums where people really thought that's what was happening to their trees. <br />Sandra, guess you will be noticing the bark shedding and maybe we'll see it in a future post!<br /><br />Hi Nellie (Beyong My Garden) ours took a few years as well and then really took off and no matter how often I trim them, they keep growing!Beatrice P.

My River Birch has bark like that. The shedding gives it an interesting texture and it isn't dying even though at first you think that it is. The flowers are wonderful to see.L.
