Betula nigra ‘Heritage’ is a beautiful river birch prized for its incredible peeling bark. Salmon-cream to brownish at first, it exfoliates to reveal a creamy-white inner bark that can almost rival the European white birches. Vigorous and fast-growing, this medium-sized deciduous tree has a large, pyramidal, upright habit. The foliage of diamond-shaped, serrated bright green leaves deepens to dark green as the season progresses before turning pale yellow in fall. It can be grown as either a single-trunk or a multi-stemmed tree. Perfect for wet soils, ‘Heritage’ can tolerate locations with drier soils and is extremely resistant to bronze birch borer and leaf spot diseases.
