Betula nigra 'Heritage'
Betula nigra ‘Heritage’ is the only naturally multi-stemmed ornamental birch, distinguished by its superb and unique cream to copper exfoliating bark, which provides architectural interest all year round, even in the middle of winter. This remarkable characteristic makes it a highly sought-after focal point in contemporary or natural landscapes. Its light green foliage in season turns golden yellow in autumn, adding an additional colorful dimension. Its open and airy silhouette is perfectly suited for residential gardens, pond edges, or group plantings, where it provides structure, elegance, and light. Very hardy, tolerant of humidity, and undemanding, this birch is ideal for moist to well-drained soils, in sunny to partial shade exposures.
