Classic, Fast-Growing Ornamental Tree

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.

Stunning!

We bought one in 2023, now it's beautiful and big tree. Tree arrived in good shape, planted it about week after. Look at it now! It's absolutely stunning! And the soil conditions here in central TX are far from ideal. My favorite tree in the garden!

Herritage River Birch Trees

My experience so far is good. I planted the tree the next day in the ground. One of them are doing great! The other one is struggling. Most of the branches and leaves turned brown. Im going to give it another week or two to see if there is any new signs of life.
