Betula Utilis Var. Jacquemontii | 12L Pot

Brilliantly creamy-white bark. Position: full sun or lightly dappled shade Soil: moderately fertile, well-drained soil Rate of growth: fast-growing Flowering period: March Hardiness: fully hardy As the tree ages, the bark turns bright white, which helps light up the garden in winter and acts as a beautiful contrast for the dark green leaves, which turn yellow in autumn. An elegant tree that is perfect for all gardens, large or small. It can be grown as a specimen in the lawn, in a group in a woodland or just planted as a feature in the garden border. The yellowy brown catkins it produces in spring are also attractive. All the Betulas we supply are single-stemmed, but they can be planted close together to create a multi-stemmed effect. Garden care: Requires minimal pruning. Remove any broken, diseased or crossing branches in late autumn or winter. When planting incorporate lots of well-rotted garden compost in the planting hole and stake well.
