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.

Beautiful little tree

I received the tree in April and kept it in my greenhouse as it wasn’t quite time to plant it yet because it had already started to leave out, and we were still getting freezing conditions. It is now planted outside, and although the nights can still be chilly, the tree is fully lifted out and doing beautifully.

Heritage Birch

I am very satisfied with the arrival condition of my most recent Fast-Growing-Trees purchase. The tree(s) arrived in great condition and are in the ground now. Looking forward to watching them grow outside my front yard. Thank you!

River Birch tree

Tree came in and was very healthy. Didn’t plant until about 5 days later and it still looks great.
