I love this tree. It took me some time to get use to the fact that the tree leaves die and hang on the tree for a part of the winter.
Very pretty bark and can be used for horse, sheep, and goat fodder. It is not suggested for cattle.
Heritage® Birch Tree
Description
A Missouri native. This low maintenance tree is vigorous and fast-growing. Well known for its incredible Salmon-pink to reddish brown peeling bark that exfoliates to reveal a lighter inner bark. Perfect for wet, acidic soils and is perhaps the most adaptable and heat tolerant of the birches. The Heritage® can be trained as either a single trunk or multi-trunked tree. Resistant to birch borers and leaf spot disease.

I purchased 2. Both are over 9 feet tall and full of leaves. One is starting its bark peel.
They are beautiful!

Taller, but not Multi-trunked
The product arrived in perfect shape. The trees are taller than I expected. Maybe even 5-6'. Lovely bark. Not multi-trunked but that could happen if I let an offshoot flourish. At least that's what I've read.
Very pleased. Stark delivers. And at an affordable price. Thank you!

Birch.
Bought two, one did not survive but the other did well. Was given a credit or option to replace. Will definitely continue to do business.

It's well protected on our front lawn; in another 3 or 4 years it should begin to feature white bark!

Birch
The tree looked poorly so I put it in a pot. It is beautiful now. I will be planting it in the ground soon. Wish me luck

Working with Stark brothers couldnt be easier! Delivery of my birch was prompt , carefully shipped and planted immediately. However my tree didnt make it through a severe freeze after I had planted it. After waiting til late spring and sending pictures to Stark , a refund was promptly accredited to my account. Not a happy ending for my bitch but a very happy returning customer!
