Betula Utilis Jaquemontii Doorenbos Feathered Single Stem 175/200cm 7.5 Litre Pot Grown: Often referred to as Betula Snow Queen, the only real difference between this variety and Betula Jaquemontii is the white bark is more noticeable from an early age. Betula Jaquemontii more commonly referred to and known as White Western Himalayan Birch, whilst it is one of the most common white Birch trees it is common for a reason, it has the best coloured white bark. Doorenbos' is one of the most dramatic of the white-stemmed birches, as the tree ages the young bark peels to first reveal a pale orange beneath again againg to white. More formal, sturdy and upright in habit than the native Silver birch, with dark green leaves that give golden autumn tones.
A tree that requires virtually no maintenance, its fully hardy and being a pot grown multi stem does not even require a stake. Can be planted in all soil types, it does best in a moist well drained area in full sun through to partial shade. Remove any winter damaged branches in spring.
