Brilliant video. Many thanks :-) Just one request. It would be nice to comment which among the above is evergreen so please please do. Seems like most are not but I want to make sure.
Hi there! White birch can be a bit tricky in Central Virginia, but it's not impossible. The Piedmont's clay soil and hot summers can be challenging for these trees. If you're set on birch, consider trying River Birch instead - it's more heat-tolerant and adaptable to clay soils. Make sure to choose a spot with afternoon shade and keep the soil consistently moist. Alternatively, you might want to explore some native trees that'll thrive naturally in your area. Whatever you choose, happy planting!
Callery/Bradford Pear is considered invasive

Can I get white birch to grow in Central Virginia in the Piedmont Area. We have sandy clay and red clay areas.

Bradford Pear is banned in several states because it is invasive.
