The Hardiest Birch + Four Seasons of Interest

Why Dakota Pinnacle Birch Trees?

Want a Birch but worried about diseases and whether it will tolerate your soil and environmental conditions? Look no further than the Dakota Pinnacle Birch, a hardy, tolerant and superior Birch that does it all.

Ornamental value across all seasons? It sounds almost too good to be true, but the Dakota Birch delivers. Plus, it's the hardiest variety around, tolerant of all soil and environmental conditions.

It's the first to show autumn color and the last to lose its leaves. The autumnal display will stick around to impress your neighbors for much longer than a few weeks, and its exfoliating bark welcomes winter in style. It starts out as orange and gray but within a few years, it emerges as a creamy white with darker undertones.

Through pollution, poor soil (even acidic, sandy or loamy), pests, and cold weather, the Dakota Pinnacle stands strong. It thrives in the coldest climates, even through snow, and handles some humidity as well. The Dakota is the epitome of a plant-and-forget landscape staple.

Growing in a pyramidal shape naturally, this tree reaches the perfect height of around 30 feet in 10 years and stays there. Your landscape will be enriched by the vibrant green leaves of spring and summer, transitioning to golden yellow in the fall.

Why Fast-Growing-Trees.com is Better

But the best part? We've planted, grown and nurtured our Heritage Rivers before they ship, so you get the healthiest results possible. You get a more developed root system delivered right to your door - something you won't find at big-box retailers and other nurseries.

If your chain garden center does stock the Dakota, it's most likely sold bare-root...this means you get less than half of the tree's root system. Bare-root trees struggle to survive in most home landscapes, often dying after just a few years.

But your Dakota Pinnacle from Fast Growing Trees is made to last a lifetime, arriving with better-developed branching and healthier, fuller roots in nutrient-rich soil.

The Dakota Pinnacle Birch is a highly desirable tree, so don’t miss out on your chance to add this beauty to your landscape! Order yours today!

Dakota Pinnacle Birch Trees

The first three trees you shipped to me got destroyed by Fed Ex , so you graciously agreed to replace them all at no cost to me. I have now planted the replacement trees and they look very healthy and should do well in the location I chose for them.

Fast Growing Trees Plant ExpertHi Gary, thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry the first trees were damaged in transit and will be sure to share this with the carrier. We’re glad the replacements arrived healthy and are settling in well. We appreciate your patience and are here if you ever need anything.

Lara

The tree arrived completely dried out with the trunk (central leader) snapped. There was barely any soil. I am very disappointed. The service was fine and was initially offered store credit, but I don't think this tree will survive. I was offered a full refund without any hassles since this tree is out of stock and cannot be replaced.

Fast Growing Trees Plant ExpertWe’re so sorry the tree arrived in poor condition, Lara. That’s not the experience we want for our customers, and we appreciate your patience while we worked to make it right. Since this variety is currently out of stock, we recommend checking our website often for updates. If you’d like help choosing a similar tree or finding a good alternative, please feel free to reach out.
