Betula nigra Dura-Heat®
River Birch
This fast growing, multi-trunked native is more heat and drought tolerant and has better disease and insect resistance than the species. Dura-Heat™ has a rounded form when mature with a dense canopy of glossy green foliage that turns a buttery yellow in the fall. Bark exfoliates early revealing creamy white inner bark, extending interest into the winter. Useful as a specimen, a shade tree or grouped together to provide a screen in the summer. Deciduous.
