Heritage River Birch

(Betula nigra 'Heritage')

Grown for its beautiful "exfoliating" (peeling) bark AND 'Heritage' has been selected because its bark is WHITER than our native birch.

 

Plant alone as a specimen or space trees 10-15' apart when planting in groups of three or more - See the grouping of five 'Heritage' in our display garden!

 

Leaves turn brilliant yellow in Fall before dropping for Winter.

 

'Heritage' grows quickly to mature at about 30' tall and wide.

Expect 2-3' of growth a year!

 

Plant in sun to light shade.

All birch have very vigorous roots - Plant 100' away from septic systems. Plant anywhere if you are on a sewer system.
