Height/Spread: 'Shiloh Splash' typically reaches a height of 30-40 feet (9-12 meters) with a spread of 20-30 feet (6-9 meters), forming an elegant and medium-sized tree.
Position: This cultivar thrives in a position that receives full sun to partial shade. It prefers moist, well-draining soil but can tolerate wetter conditions, making it suitable for areas near water features or damp locations.
Soil: 'Shiloh Splash' prefers acidic to neutral soil with good moisture retention. It adapts well to various soil types, including clay, loam, and sand.

Its variegated foliage adds a touch of visual appeal, and the peeling bark provides unique textural interest. Additionally, river birch trees are often planted near water bodies, as they can tolerate moist soils and help with erosion control.
