Nursery contributed plant descriptions

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.

This deciduous tree has thick, dark green leaves that will turn a pretty yellow in the fall. The whitest of the white bark birches, this tree will delight even in the winter when it displays its white, peeling, "paper" bark on the trunk and younger branches. Has upright branches and a pyramidal habit.

This is the most prized of white barked birch. It grows in classic conical form; it doesn't often look natural in a clump though it is often used that way. It is a easy to use adapable tree.
