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.

Beautiful tree
I ordered a multi-trunk tree. Three are 5 trunks. We planted and staked all the trunks. I'm looking forward to this tree thriving in my 7a zone.

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!
