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.

What will be the center piece in our back yard!
I'm thrilled with my Dura Heat River Birch Tree! I received a beautiful healthy tree! I love it! Great nursery!
What will be the center piece in our back yard!
After months of research of what type of fast-growing shade tree would best meet our requirements. After speaking to an expert with FGT, we decided on the Dura Heat River Birch. It has a non-aggressive root system, will provide wonderful shade pretty fast and so much more. We got the tree earlier than expected. What a beautiful healthy tree! It is planted in rich soil. Keeping it moist for sure, since it is still pretty warm out here in the SW. So happy with this decision! What a great company!
River Birch
The trees arrived, but the delivery people do not understand (this side up)The tree that was turned upside down with no water is slowly recovering. We are very pleased with your company. When I contacted you regarding the delivery, the person who replied was excellent. She answered all my questions. With her assistance II am certain my tree will be fine. I would be happy to purchase from you again. It is so hot and the tree is just beginning to recover. I have decided to wait to plant, that they may have an easier start.
Great Experience!
Was skeptical to order a tree online but was very impressed once it arrived. The tree arrived in better shape than local nursery trees. I will be buying all of my shrubs and trees through here.
Loving it!
I will say I was nervous to ship a tree rather than going to a local florist in my area. But I have to say the tree came fast and packaged nicely! I’m located in zone 6 and took a risk planting the tree in March even though the description says to plant after all risk of frost. We did have about 3 frosts so I covered the tree to be safe and it was resilient! It has already grown about a foot and the leaves are fully showing. The tree being still young withstands the high winds in my area really well. I can’t wait to see how the tree will look a year from now and years to come. Very happy with my dura heat river birch from fast growing trees and will buy another tree from here again!
