Dura Heat River Birch

Dura Heat River Birch is a tough, adaptable tree that offers year-round beauty and reliable performance in warm climates. Selected for its improved heat tolerance and smaller leaf size, this variety holds up better in southern landscapes than the standard river birch. It grows 30 feet tall and 25 feet wide with a graceful, upright form. Its bark peels away in shades of cream, tan, and cinnamon, adding stunning winter interest, while the dark green foliage provides dense summer shade and turns soft yellow in the fall. Ideal for larger yards, naturalized areas, or near water features, this birch brings both beauty and resilience.
