Several Seasons of Color From One Tough Tree
Why Dura Heat® River Birch Trees?
A beautiful, fast-growing shade tree that thrives from North to South, the Dura Heat® River Birch is one-of-a-kind. This lovely tree grows in cold areas and hot and humid conditions, a span that includes frigid Maine and Minnesota all the way down to hot and humid Florida and Texas.
Plus, River Birches tolerate soggy conditions where other trees won’t grow. If you’re trying to landscape a low-lying area that floods regularly, or you have heavy clay soil, this tree is exactly what you need. Its dense root system tolerates dense, wet soil, and even regular flooding and standing water.
Its fast growth means your landscape fills in quickly. These trees can grow up to three feet each year, so they reach mature heights much faster than other landscape trees. They're also fairly compact and can be planted as a specimen in an urban yard, where they tolerate pollutants with ease.

Tree was very well packed
Tree was very well packed and arrived in a timely manner. Followed the planting instructions provided. Chose this tree because it is adaptable to difficult soil types. We are in the midst of a major drought with temps hovering around 100. Hopefully it will survive the weather and soil conditions.
LOVE
These trees!!! I have 2 older ones and they are so beautiful! And the dura heat is REAL!!! Zone 8b and hell scape:) Trees are thriving
More than expected!
I really expected a branch with a few leaves. Was I surprised to receive a 6 ft multi trunk full of leaves. I don’t know what more I could have asked for!
Let the River Run
Resilient! The only way to describe this tree. It arrived beautifully packaged but a little tired. We planted it in an area of our property that is unbelievably wet. In the first week, it had a lot of dead leaves around the bottom that all fell off but the top remained green. The second week I could see new little buds peeking out from the branches. Today, our tree is in full blown green. What an amazing recovery. If you have an area that is particularly wet, this is the tree to plant. It tolerates heat and it tolerates wet, soggy, water prone areas. I highly recommend it.
Another great tree fro FGT.
I received the most beautiful, healthy 6ft. tall Dura Heat River Birch tree from Fast Growing Trees last week. It’s now happily planted and doing fine.
