Title: Re: [GWL]: Birch question
Note in passing.  A local natural food store planted what appear to be quaking aspen in their parking lot islands.  Very nice looking, but after three years, they are now getting suckers all over the place.  In the wild, quaking aspen can spread over many acres via suckers from one "founding" tree.

Was someone asking about alternatives to paper birch? I asked someone who always has answers to these kinds of questions (what tree to sub for what treehes a nursery stock broker) and he said...

You have 2 choices. Betula japonica Whitespire Or Schezchuanica. Not quite as white. Somewhat borer and leafminer resistant. Not a bad plant. Also Betula jacquemonte Himalayan birch. Real white at an early age but is a pest Magnet.
