Fox Valley®

Dwarf River Birch
Betula nigra ‘Little King’
WBETUFOX
A delightful native selection, ‘Fox Valley’ offers the rugged beauty of a traditional River Birch in a perfectly compact, dwarf form. It is most celebrated for its stunning exfoliating bark, which peels away to reveal a mosaic of cinnamon, cream, salmon, and beige—providing striking architectural interest even in the depths of winter. Its delicate, lacy foliage creates a soft texture in the landscape, thriving in everything from full sun to partial shade. This resilient, easy-care birch is particularly valuable for its ability to flourish in wet or clay-based soils where other trees might struggle. Whether used as a sophisticated accent, a low-branching privacy screen, or even a statement piece in a large container, ‘Fox Valley’ brings effortless native elegance to smaller gardens.
