Description
Betula nigra ‘Heritage’ (Heritage River Birch) is a fast-growing, adaptable deciduous tree prized for its exfoliating bark, graceful form, and tolerance to wet soils. This cultivar develops a rounded to vase-shaped canopy with strong lateral branching, making it an excellent shade tree for residential or commercial landscapes, as well as for planting along streams and wetlands.
The bark is peeling and multi-colored, ranging from creamy tan to rich cinnamon, providing year-round ornamental interest. In summer, dark green foliage provides dappled shade, and in fall, the leaves turn bright yellow, adding seasonal color. ‘Heritage’ is known for its hardiness, disease resistance, and tolerance of a wide range of soil types, including clay or periodically wet conditions.
