HERITAGE BIRCH

The Heritage® River Birch is the gold standard of birch trees — and this 12-foot specimen is ready to make an immediate impact in your landscape. Renowned for its breathtaking exfoliating bark that peels away in papery layers of creamy white, tan, and salmon, it delivers year-round beauty that few trees can match.

Unlike white-barked birches that struggle in the South, Heritage River Birch is native to the eastern US and thrives in our heat and humidity. It's one of the most adaptable and low-maintenance shade trees available, equally at home near water features, in rain gardens, or as a stunning lawn specimen.
