Garden Goods Direct Dura Heat River Birch Trees

Dura Heat River Birch is a more heat and drought tolerant form of River Birch, with unparalleled insect and disease resistance. 

Densely pyramidal form with glossy green leaves that fade to clear butter yellow in fall, this tree is the perfect addition to any landscape. The tree sports a pinkish-orange winter bark and makes for a gorgeous focal point to a yard. 

The Dura Heat River Birch is perhaps one of the most culturally adaptable of all the birches. It grows well in acidic, loamy, moist, well-drained soil. The River Birch can handle semi-aquatic conditions, but can also tolerate drier soils. Although these trees are heat tolerant, they do benefit from a cool and consistently moist root system. Planting shade tolerant understory plants and/or applying mulch will help shade the ground keeping the soil cooler.

Some common uses of the Dura Heat Clumps include use as erosion management along stream banks and ponds, as specimen or small group plantings, and as foundation plantings for homes, parks and commercial properties.
