About the Heritage®
Birch :
The Heritage River Birch tree, Betula nigra,
'Heritage', is the most prominent of all the
cultivars of River Birch trees. It is faster
growing, has larger, glossier leaves and is less
prone to leaf spot than the other species. The bark
exfoliates on younger trees and opens to a lighter,
salmon-colored trunk.
One of the most appealing features of the
Heritage® Birch is the bark, which, on larger, young
branches and stems, is reddish to pinkish brown and
peels off in papery strips. The exposed inner bark
is gray-brown to cinnamon-brown to reddish brown.
The bark of this deciduous tree, when mature, is
ridged and deepens to dark brown. This tree is
handsome without leaves because of its graceful
silhouette and exfoliating bark. |
