Whitebarked Himalayan Birch
Zone: 5-8
8"-12"/ year
20´-25´/ 10 years
upright, pyramidal
A stately sentinel, standing vigilant; white bark practically glowing in stark contrast to the greens and blues of garden conifers and the multi-colored aprons of flowers in the garden. The white "paper" bark of the trunk on this pyramidal shaped wonder is beyond remarkable. The foliage is a darker green, providing additional contrast in spring and summer, turning golden yellow in the fall.
