Comments (2)Molly, It is fairly common for River Birch and other trees like Tulip Tree to drop some leaves in prolonged hot weather like were having. But if you're watering and the leaves are still turning yellow and falling maybe it is a pest or disease problem. Birch trees do have a problem with borers although River Birch is supposed to be resistant. Do an internet search on bronze birch borers maybe that's what it is....See Moregeci
