Why Heritage® River Birch Trees?
It's easy to understand why the Heritage® River Birch is such a popular tree. For starters, it's resistant to common diseases, grows up to 2 to 3 feet each year, and adapts to a variety of soil types. Plus, it's an elegant source of shade, with unique peeling bark that stands out in your landscape.
This distinctive tree is easy to grow, too, adding character in nicely landscaped yards from Minnesota to Florida. It adapts well to both wet and dry planting sites and tolerates modest drought and mild floods. Even better is its ability to resist strong wind, ice, and other damaging elements. Basically, there's nothing the Heritage® River Birch can't do.

Gorgeous shade tree
These trees are so gorgeous that after ordering two last year, I ordered another one for my new house. It's already grown a few inches and has plenty of new leaves on it. It arrived in great condition and after some water it was even happier. I may get another one
Great Tree!
I got 10 trees from Fast Growing Trees. I planted them a few months ago and they are doing GREAT! The process to get them was soooo easy. The trees are beautiful and I am glad to have found this option to get variety not always available in my area.
Our river birch trees are beautiful
The two trees arrived in perfect shape and just in time, after Helene hit our place we lost so many trees. Replacing them a few at a time is great. Our river birch trees are growing nicely even in this scorching heatwave.
These are fast growing perfect specimens
These trees have grown to their expectations!! We purchased a dozen of the small size and now they are almost 15’ after 2 years so we’re very happy!!
Nice tree
Leaves were kind of yellow at first, but now they look pretty good. We've had problems we with other trees that we purchased, but these are doing well.
