Description

Add graceful height, texture, and four-season beauty to your landscape with the River Birch Heritage Clump, a multi-trunked deciduous tree known for its stunning exfoliating bark and reliable performance. This improved variety of River Birch (Betula nigra 'Heritage') features creamy-white bark that peels to reveal warm tan and brown tones, creating year-round visual interest.

With a stately pyramidal to oval shape, this fast-growing tree reaches up to 60 feet tall and 45 feet wide, making it ideal as a focal point, privacy screen, or shade tree. It thrives in full to partial sun, prefers slightly acidic, well-drained soil, and is hardy in zones 4–9. The Heritage River Birch tolerates heat and humidity better than many birch species, and its golden fall color adds seasonal charm.
