Description How to Grow More Info Delivery

One of the most stunning and popular of birches, prized for its brilliant white bark which makes a particularly striking silhouette in the winter landscape. A second season of interest is provided by autumn foliage colour when the dark green leaves turn gold. Betula utilis ‘Jacquemontii’ forms an open, pyramidal tree which is tolerant of all growing conditions. The peeling bark is wonderfully tactile and sheds each year to reveal the warm, pinkish tones of fresh new bark beneath. Height: above 12m (39ft) Spread: 4-8m (13-26ft).

Plant height and spread is seasonal therefore we list by pot size rather than a defined plant size. The height and spread of the plant delivered will vary depending on the season, meaning arrival images are an indication only.

Height Up to 12m (39ft)

Grow Birch on any moist, fertile, well drained soil. Birch thrive in full sun or lightly dappled shade and are generally tolerant of windy positions.
Feed and water Betula until fully established. Once established, Birch trees require no maintenance. If pruning is necessary to remove diseased or misplaced stems then this should be carried out in winter when the plant is dormant, as Birch has a tendency to bleed sap if pruned during the growing season.
