觀賞用樹，見於美國東部三分之一的河岸與沼澤濕地，可長至18至30公尺高（60至80呎）。樹幹下半部隨著樹齡增長而顏色逐漸變黑，故有時亦稱黑樺。老樹幹的樹皮紅褐色，有深溝，並裂為粗糙不平、緊密平貼的鱗片；上半部的樹幹與樹枝平滑，呈鮭紅色至玫瑰肉桂色，帶有金屬光澤。

河樺(木材)

英文....

Species of ornamental tree found on riverbanks and swamps in the eastern one-third of the United States, growing 18-30 m (60 to 80 feet) in height. Because the lower trunk becomes very dark with age, the tree is sometimes called black birch. The red-brown, deeply furrowed bark on an old trunk breaks into ragged, closely appressed scales; the upper trunk and branches are smooth, salmon pink to rose cinnamon, with a metallic luster.
