River birch trees are definitely better suited for growing along river valleys and streams, where they thrive within their native range. They are also resistant to the (native) bronze birch borer, which devastates heat and drought-stressed white-barked birch in Europe and Asia. Whereas the river birch are losing some leaves in these conditions, the non-native species would be completely wiped out.

Funny, a tree with river in its name that should live near a river. Yet we plant them upriver in dried out areas lol!
