| I am hoping to purchase a European White Birch (Monrovia) at my local nursery. They were unable to tell me if it is bore resistant. I am hoping it is because it is 40% off !!! Thank you for this opportunity to relay this question to you. |
| Unfortunately, European white birch (Betula pendula) and paper birch (Betula papyrifera) are among the most preferred hosts for the bronze birch borer. The river birch (Betula nigra) is relatively resistant. I hope this answers your question. |
