Heritage River Birch is one of those trees that gives you a lot to love in every season-beautiful peeling bark, fast growth, soft summer shade, and that multi-stem clump form that feels both natural and designed. I especially like it for wetter areas, larger beds, and open spaces where you want a tree with movement and real personality. If you want a deciduous shade tree that looks established quickly and keeps adding interest long after bloom season is over, this one is a terrific choice.
