Betula nigra 'BNMTF', known as Dura Heat, is a vigorous deciduous tree with a dense, pyramidal growth habit. It is highly valued for its exceptional heat and drought tolerance compared to the species. The tree features glossy, dark green foliage that transitions to a brilliant butter-yellow in autumn. Its most striking feature is the exfoliating bark, which peels in creamy-white to salmon-pink sheets. Ideal for moist sites, rain gardens, or as a specimen, it thrives in acidic, well-drained soils.
