Birches look especially nice growing in clumps, which you can accomplish by getting three small trees and planting them in one large hole or by letting us do the work! One of the loveliest of the birches, notable for its dazzling white and attractively peeling bark, though birch bark can vary greatly, this is generally regarded to have the whitest bark of all; this 30-40' tree from Nepal is similar to Betula utilis, but has fewer vein pairs per leaf; beautiful light-green leaves turn a gorgeous gold in the fall; a wonderful tree for garden or ponds edge.
