10-10-07: Betula jacquemontii

Betula jacquemontii Betula jacquemontii has become a very popular ornamental tree for the landscape, usually planted in a group of three. Its most attractive characteristic is its striking white bark, the whitest of any Birch.

The bark contrasts nicely to its dark green shimmering foliage and its brilliant yellow fall color. Not to be confused with its close relative the European White Birch (Betula pendula), which is more prone to borer attack and can reseed itself very profusely. Betula jacquemontii (Himalayan Birch) has some resistance to borers, is less likely to reseed itself and so it has taken the stage and become the preferred variety of the two. Growing 2 feet per year and reaching a height of up to 40 feet high with a spread of up to half as wide, this beautiful specimen has year round interest that is sure to please. We are also offering 1.5 inch caliper Betula jacquemontii in either bare root or B&B, please call for more information!
