| Botanical Name | Betula nigra 'BNMTF' |
| Description | The Dura Heat® River Birch Tree is the premier birch selection for the Houston metro area, and this 30-gallon (30G) specimen provides an established head start for your landscape. Specifically bred to outperform the species in our intense summer heat and high humidity, it keeps its foliage longer into the season. This tree is highly adaptable to our heavy clay soils and is an excellent solution for areas that stay moist or have poor drainage. |
| Exposure | Full Sun to Partial Shade |
| Height x Width | 30-40' Height x 25-35' Width |
| Water | High; prefers consistent moisture and can tolerate temporary flooding or wet feet. |
| Zones | 5 - 9 |
| Fertilization | Apply an acidic, slow-release fertilizer in early spring to maintain rich green leaf color in local soils. |
| Pruning | Prune during late autumn or winter dormancy to avoid "bleeding" sap in the spring. |
| Deer Resistance | High |
