Betula Utilis Jaquemontii Multi Stem 10 Litre 150cm+: 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. Our trees are pot grown, not field grown, they are not lifted from the fields and potted, this provides a strong root system and makes the chance of them failing virtually zero. The main attraction to the beautiful plants is the fantastic white bark, which develops as the tree and branches age, summer foliage is is dark green which contrasts well with white the bark, thus giving the tree year round interest. These really are super plants so hats off to our grower, they are ideal for planting in a wide range of areas from the garden as a centre piece or in borders to create a woodland theme, they require virtually no maintenance and are fully hardy to -20.
