aka Himalayan Birch

Himalayan Birch. A stunning tree which will be shown to its best advantage planted in groups. The trunk of the tree develops smooth unblemished white bark with a horizontally peeling habit. The dark green leaves have serrated edges and form a large open crown turning soft yellow in autumn. Est.10yr.growth.

This stunning tree is easy to grow in sun or part shade. Make sure the planting position has soil that does not completely dry out in hot summers. The pure whiteness of the bark may take 4 or 5 years to completely develop.

aka River Birch

River Birch - Weeping. A delightful cascading form which is perfect for smaller gardens. Attractive fresh green spring and summer foliage that turns yellow before leaf fall. Characteristic flaking bark. Fast growing in sun or part shade. Tolerates quite a bit of moisture. Deciduous. PVR.

I purchased one of these for my own garden about a year ago as I was enchanted by the beautiful shape and fresh green leaves. I have an awkward small courtyard area that sometimes gets quite wet - this tree was the perfect choice and it is doing well.
