Full Growing Information from Seed:
• Seed Sowing: Sow seeds outdoors in fall or start indoors in late winter.

• Spacing: Transplant seedlings at least 6–10 feet apart to allow for mature growth.
• Watering: Keep soil consistently moist during germination and early growth.
• Soil: Prefers well-draining, acidic to neutral soil (pH 5.0–7.0).
• Temperature: Germinates best with cold stratification.
• Germination Time: 2–6 weeks after stratification.
• Care: Once established, Paper Birch tolerates cold climates and partial drought but thrives with regular watering and full sun exposure.
