Average-sized tree with a nice, regular crown, a clear difference with the irregularly growing B. utilis. Originally growing in the Himalayas and parts of North West India. This low branching tree also appears as a multiple-stemmed birch with a strikingly white, flaking bark. Under the plates the bark is darker. In winter this tree is really eye-catching. Young twigs are hairy and have a warm, red brown colour. They have many lenticels. The leaf is shiny and coarsely toothed. The autumn colouring is golden yellow. This bark has a rich inflorescence of 12 cm long catkins. The tree is shallow rooting with, especially in the top soil, many fibrous rootlets.
Our trees can only be planted when they don't have any leaves. Due to the this we will start delivering again from November 2024.
