Hi, My Silver Birch is looking very sick indeed. It is only a few years old, is above the roof top in height, but looks as though it is dying of thirst. The tree fern next to it looks just fine, and the soil is moist a few inches below the surface. It doesn't have a specific sprinkler on it but gets run off from the watering of other things upline. When it had first leafed this season the leaves looked as though they were eaten somewhat and some looked a little distorted. Could this be a disease of some sort? Any clues? Woori

Hi Garry, I don't think you have anything to worry about. Sometimes the growth outstrips the strength of the trunk, but things will even out. Mine did the same but are now looking just fine. Woori

I haven't had this issue with birch, but am having issues with buckeye right now. There is too much rain and they put on a quick early burst of growth that is too heavy for the stem. I stake them up - they won't need the stake when it gets drier and growth starts to harden.

Hi, We would like suggestions on complementary colors to the Certainteed Silver Birch roof. This is'nt the most popular roof color and hence there are'nt much pictures on pinterest etc. We live in California and get a good amount of sun. Any input is appreciated. Thank you!
