    The best known of the white barked birch. It grows rapidly and develops into a stately specimen with graceful, pendulous branches, sometimes reaching 50' or more in height with a spread of one-half to two-thirds the height. Sharply toothed leaves emerge early in spring. The yellow of fall is soon followed by the beautiful white silhouette against a deep blue winter sky. A well proven and useful tree.
