Asked July 25, 2015, 10:27 AM EDT

Why are my Betula nigra ‘Heritage’ | River Birch leaves turning yellow and dropping off in June and July? How can the problem be solved.

Expert Response

It is quite common for river birch trees to yellow and drop their leaves in summer.  The behavior can be aggravating to a homeowner, but there is nothing one can do to prevent it.  The tree is not suffering from a disease or insect problem when this happens.
