Q&A – Why did my river birch loose its leaves in summer?
Question:
Why did my river birch loose its leaves in summer?
Answer:
This is a cause for concern but it is probably caused by the environmental conditions of the summer. It was a very wet summer which allowed the fungus to grow on the leaves. The tree is not dead, it has just lost its leaves. Keep an eye on it next year and the same problem will likely not occur.
