Dura-Heat was selected in Georgia for its superior heat resistance in southern regions. This fast-growing, multi-trunked native tree has dark green leaves that are a little smaller than typical giving it a finer texture than other river birch. The foliage is disease and insect-resistant and holds well until fall when others may drop leaves due to stress. Fall foliage is yellow.

The bark exfoliates in strips revealing lighter inner bark, extending interest into the winter. 

Heat and drought-tolerant, it is also adapted to wet soil. Plant in groups of three to five trees for best effect.
