Betula nigra 'Heritage' - Single Stem
The Betula nigra 'Heritage', commonly known as the Heritage River Birch, is a deciduous tree known for its striking exfoliating bark and adaptability to various soil conditions. This cultivar is particularly valued for its attractive, salmon-pink to reddish-brown bark that peels away to reveal creamy white inner layers, adding year-round interest to landscapes.
This tree is ideal for use as a specimen plant, in groupings, or as a naturalized planting near water features. Its tolerance to wet soils makes it a great choice for rain gardens and erosion control on stream banks.
