River Birch Heritage

Ornamental tree

Betula nigra 'Cully'

Overview
An award-winning native tree celebrated for its stunning exfoliating bark that peels in papery layers of cream, salmon, and cinnamon brown, creating year-round visual interest. This fast-growing beauty thrives in wet soils where other trees struggle, making it perfect for low-lying areas while also tolerating drought once established. Its graceful, slightly weeping habit and resistance to bronze birch borer make it the most reliable birch for home landscapes.
