A graceful, medium-sized birch sought after for its luminous white peeling bark, perhaps the most unblemished of any Himalayan birch. This deciduous tree has a conical shape with drooping oval leaves that emerge dark green in spring, turning golden yellow in autumn. Long yellow catkins up to 15cm (6in) create a dramatic springtime show while the stunning crisp white bark reveals silvery-grey tones when peeling, providing year-round beauty and winter interest. Hardy and adaptable, this exceptionally attractive tree makes a majestic focal point specimen for small to medium sized gardens.

All the Betulas we supply are single-stemmed, but they can be planted close together to create a multi-stemmed effect.

Garden care:

Requires minimal pruning. Remove any broken, diseased or crossing branches in late autumn or winter. When planting incorporate lots of well-rotted garden compost in the planting hole and stake well.
