A new selection of the ubiquitously adaptable River should supersede other River Birch varieties as the most universally embraced and planted North American Birch Dura-Heat® offers superlative lustrous dark green leaves that turn soft butter yellow in the autumn. The leaves are more leathery and smaller than other varieties and the species. Leaves are closely spaced along the length of the shoots resulting in a dense canopy of foliage, even on young trees. Leaf spot resistance is significantly greater than that of other varieties and the species. Bark exfoliates early and is whitish. Greater leaf spot resistance than the species.
