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!

Beautiful!

We purchased six, 7 ft trees. They are full and simply stunning. They really do appreciate a decent amount of shade for the hottest part of the day. This makes it perfect for planting near our full grown pine tree line. Seven feet was a good decision. Looking forward to watching them grow!

As promised

Arrived quickly, well packaged, height was as promised. Lots of leaves and looked healthy. A few days after planting leaves all perked up. Price was reasonable. Great way to get tree variety not available near me.

The tree came in great

The tree came in great shape. I planted it two days later. That was 10 days ago. With a lot of rain, that helped the tree. Today was the first day I watered it. It looks healthy and the leaves are nice and green. Looking forward to watching grow.

Beautiful trees!

Really surprised and pleased by how very nice the trees are. The packaging was great and protected the trees well. They had no damage. They looked much healthier and attractive than I expected.
