Hi again,

I could not find the pictures I took of my river birch last
summer so I had to retake and unfortunately there is no leaf on
the tree now. So I'm not sure how useful it is with the
identification, but to show the difference in the amount of
barks my river birch and the river birch that I like have look
at:

yours are just young. they will eventually look like the ones you
like. just give them a few years & they'll start looking more & more
as you like them.
