The clump river birch (Betula nigra 'Duraheat') is a small to medium-sized deciduous tree that is native to the eastern United States. It typically grows in a clumping, multi-stemmed form with several trunks growing from a single base. The bark of the tree is a beautiful, mottled brown, with gray, white, and pink tones. The tree produces small, greenish-brown flowers in the spring, which give way to small, winged nutlets that ripen in the fall.
At maturity, the height and width of a river birch tree can vary depending on the specific cultivar and growing conditions, but typically they can grow up to 50 to 70 feet (15 to 21 meters) tall and up to 40 to 60 feet (12 to 18 meters) wide.
