I love the trees in large containers. Do the birch trees survive the New England winters outside? Where do you get your large planters? Your designs are amazing!!!

Hi BrendaL Thanks so much for your kind words! These are River birch and they are tough. This garden is on the 17th floor and they are doing fine. The containers are custom, designed by us and built by S&H Construction. Thanks again. Best, Jean
