Dura-Heat® River Birch holds up better than other birch cultivars during heat stress common to the south and other parts of the country. Dura-Heat® has more bud-breaks than other popular river birch cultivars giving it a fuller, more dense appearance. The leaves are smaller and thicker than those of most birch, and it does not defoliate as much in the summer months. “Dura-Heat® is the superior birch selection for the 21st century.” – Dr. Michael Dirr
