The Heritage river birch is celebrated for its striking, exfoliating bark, which peels and curls to reveal layers of light brown, orange, and soft purple. While all river birches are admired for their bark, the ‘Heritage’ cultivated variety stands out for its especially vivid color and improved resistance to bronze birch borer. Originally discovered as a superior cultivar named ‘Cully’ after plantsman Earl Cully, nursery growers later adopted ‘Heritage’ as a more marketable trade name. This fast-growing tree adds about two to three feet per year, forming spreading limbs that cast welcome summer shade.
