Heritage River Birch

Additional Images:

Plant Name:
Heritage River Birch
Latin Name:
Betula nigra 'Heritage'
Plant Type:


Tree

Required Lighting:

Ornamental Characteristics:
Great clumping form, peeling bark but not as white the Northern Paper Birch but a great substitute, 20'-30' tall
Landscape Uses:
Clumping focal point small tree
Maintenance:
Soft wood, fast growing, so you are going to have a few branches dropping. Not bad though

The Landscape Renovators' Special Notes:
Hey, I'm a Yankee. I love this tree. Please use in heavier or 'rich' soils, better than well drained sandy areas.
