The Heritage® River Birch, also known as Betula nigra 'Heritage', is a popular and attractive tree known for its unique peeling bark and graceful form. It is a cultivar of the native River Birch (Betula nigra) species.
The Heritage® River Birch is valued for its beautiful bark, which starts off as a reddish-brown color and gradually peels to reveal lighter shades of cream, orange, and pink. This peeling bark adds visual interest and texture to the tree, especially during the winter months.
This tree is known for its tolerance to wet soil conditions, making it a great choice for areas with poor drainage or near bodies of water. It also has good resistance to bronze birch borer, a common pest that affects other birch species.
