Himalayan Birch

A stunning medium-sized deciduous tree renowned for its incredibly bright, peeling, pure white bark, which provides exceptional winter interest. It grows to 10-15m in height with a spread of 5-8m, forming an elegant, open, conical habit. The ovate, dark green leaves turn clear yellow in autumn. Hardy to H7, it thrives in full sun and well-drained, slightly acidic soil. Often planted in groves or as a specimen tree to highlight its bark. An RHS AGM holder, this tree is a consistent performer and a classic choice for bringing light and structure to the winter garden. Pendulous catkins in spring.
