Heritage® River Birch – 5 Gallon Container
Fast-Growing Shade Tree with Beautiful Peeling Bark

The Heritage® River Birch is a fast-growing, native shade tree known for its distinctive exfoliating bark, resistance to disease, and ability to thrive in wet or dry soils. Its creamy, cinnamon-colored bark peels naturally, adding four-season visual interest to any landscape. In spring and summer, it features lush green foliage that turns golden yellow in fall.

This tree is ideal for low spots, rain gardens, stream banks, or anywhere that needs a tough, attractive tree that can handle soggy conditions. Compared to standard River Birch, the Heritage® cultivar has lighter bark, fewer pest issues, and stronger branching.
