Looking for a stunning tree to add to your garden? Look no further than Betula utilis var. jacquemontii! This medium-sized tree is most famous for its exceptionally white bark, which many experts consider to be the whitest of any birch. Native to the western Himalayas, this variety typically reaches 30-40 feet in height, with an open pyramidal habit. Its ovate, double-serrate leaves turn golden in the fall, while its tiny monoecious flowers bloom in late spring. The wood is very hard and heavy, and quite brittle, and the thin papery bark is very shiny, making it an excellent choice for creating large pages. If you're looking for a tree that's sure to impress, Betula utilis var. jacquemontii is an excellent choice!
