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.

Love these trees

My trees arrived yesterday and they are beautiful. We planted today. We can't wait to see how much they will grow this year. A special thank you to the young lady who helped me place this order. She made a special request for multiple trunks and we got 4 and 5 trunk trees that are going to me perfect. I will definitely order my next tree from here.

River Birch

So far keeping an eye on things kind of went into a little bit of a shock when planted seems like it's coming out of it which is common but no problems as of now

Fast Growing Trees Plant ExpertThat’s encouraging to hear, Randy! A little transplant shock is pretty common and the fact that it’s already bouncing back tells us it’s on the right track. We’re always here if you need anything!

Perfect shipment, awesome trees!

These trees arrived perfectly packed & ready to plant. They were green and healthy and after one week are thriving! The size was exactly as described, and the roots-soil were contained in burlap for easy planting. Really appreciate this wonderful business. Would recommend to anyone!

Fast Growing Trees Plant ExpertThank you for the thoughtful feedback, Ann! Healthy trees, secure packaging, and easy planting are all things we strive for, so we're delighted your experience reflected that. We hope your River Birch trees continue to thrive for years to come.
