Betula Nigra 'Heritage'

River Birch (Heritage® Variety)

Betula nigra 'Heritage'

(River Birch)

A fast-growing, stately deciduous tree prized for its dramatic peeling bark and graceful, spreading canopy.

Insignificant catkins in spring; however, foliage turns a bright, buttery yellow in autumn.

Pyramidal when young, maturing to a rounded, multi-stemmed or single-trunk canopy.

Grows 40–50 ft tall and 25–40 ft wide.

Prefers full sun to part shade; thrives in moist, even wet, acidic soils.

Highly resistant to Bronze Birch Borer, heat tolerant, and excellent for erosion control.

Hardy in zones 4–9.

An exceptional focal point for large lawns or rain gardens—its salmon-cream exfoliating bark provides stunning winter interest long after the leaves have fallen.
