Paper Birch is very common in native populations in the Great Lakes region from Minnesota eastward. It is also native in scattered locations along streams and gulleys in Nebraska and the Dakotas. Does not perform well in difficult sites. Grows best in climates with cool summer temperatures. An organic mulch or ground cover planting will help keep summer soil temperatures cooler.
