Whitebarked Himalayan Birch 1 Live Tree – 3 Gallon Pot – Betula utilis var. jacquemontii

Whitebarked Himalayan Birch (Betula utilis var. jacquemontii), also known as Himalayan White Birch, is a deciduous ornamental tree valued for its distinctive white bark, graceful branching, and attractive seasonal foliage. As the tree develops, its bark becomes increasingly bright white and may peel in thin, papery layers, creating ornamental interest even after the leaves have fallen.

During spring and summer, Whitebarked Himalayan Birch produces fresh green leaves with finely toothed margins. In autumn, the foliage typically changes to shades of yellow and golden yellow. Slender catkins appear seasonally, contributing to the tree's natural appearance. Its upright form and contrasting bark make it suitable for specimen plantings, woodland-style gardens, and mixed ornamental landscapes.

Whitebarked Himalayan Birch generally grows best in full sun to partial shade with moist, fertile, well-drained soil. It prefers consistent moisture and relatively cool root conditions, especially during warm weather. This ornamental birch is particularly well suited to temperate gardens where its bark, branching structure, and autumn foliage can provide seasonal interest.

You will receive one live Whitebarked Himalayan Birch tree in a 3 gallon nursery pot.

Pot Size: 3 Gallons.

Approx. 48 inches tall at time of shipping.

Plant Form: Young nursery-grown tree.

The plant is supplied as a young tree rather than a mature landscape specimen. Actual trunk development, bark coloration, branching, foliage density, and overall appearance may vary according to nursery growth and seasonal conditions.

Young Whitebarked Himalayan Birch trees may not yet display the brilliant white bark associated with established specimens. Bark color typically becomes more pronounced as the tree develops.

Whitebarked Himalayan Birch is deciduous and naturally loses its leaves during colder months. Plants may ship dormant, leafless, or recently pruned depending on the season.

Plant Condition Disclosure:

Live plants may be shipped dormant, leafless, recently pruned, bare root, or partially defoliated depending on season, weather, and shipping requirements.

Natural variation in size, branching, foliage density, color, root structure, and overall appearance should be expected.

Important Note:

You will receive a live starter plant (seedling/young plant). Listing photos show the plant at a mature stage for reference only. The actual plant size, shape, and appearance may vary and will be significantly smaller than the images shown.
