Overview

Sought-after for its brilliant white bark, this vigorous, deciduous tree has yellowy brown catkins in spring and dark green, ovate leaves that turn butter yellow in autumn. The warm chestnut brown stem colour of the west Himalayan birch gradually turns white with age (once the tree is around 8 years old). Delivered as small plants (approximately 20cm high in a 1.5 litre nursery pot), in time it will grow into a spectacular tree that will create an elegant garden specimen or is equally stunning planted as a group, underplanted with early flowering spring bulbs.

Care guide

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.

How your order will arrive

Pots and Packaging
Larger pots (2L and above) are wrapped in waxed paper and then attached to a cardboard base so they stay stable in the box. The waxed paper prevents the compost from spilling out and gives the base some added protection from damp compost. For large numbers of plants, pallets may be used for shipping.

Preparation
The nursery will ensure the plant is moist while it's waiting to be picked up. Our quality control team waters the plant before packing them where necessary to make sure that the plant is suitably watered for transport. Plants with long delicate stems are secured with canes to prevent damage.

Plant on Arrival
Typically plants are delivered ready to plant and will take some time to settle, grow and look more like the product image above.
