Birch

Dura Heat® River Birch

Betula nigra

The Dura Heat river birch is a cultivar that is more heat and drought tolerant than other species. Its striking glossy deep green foliage is more resistant to disease and turns a clear butter yellow in fall. Pinkish orange winter bark exfoliates prominently as the tree matures. Plant this tree in the wet or dry and enjoy dense shade all summer!
