Betula utilis jacquemontii Multistem (White barked Birch)

These multistem white barked silver birch trees are a special selected variety with particularly striking white bark. Their full Latin name is Betula utilis var. jacquemontii. They are also known as West Himalayan Birch or Kashmir Birch and are excellent specimens to use in any garden.  These are all multistem trees rather than standards and have multiple breaks from the base.

You will see that there are several options for purchasing this tree depending on size and root formations.

The size of these trees is measured by height from ground level to the top of the tree and the height excludes the roots.  If in doubt about what this means, please do call the nursery and we will be happy to advise you.

You either have the choice of purchasing these multistem trees as rootballed or container grown.  Container grown trees are grown in plastic pots or bags and can be planted all year round.

Rootballed trees are dug from our fields with a ball of soil around the roots which is then wrapped up in hessian.   Please be advised that this can make them very heavy to handle, so please do telephone us to discuss this if you think it might be an issue for you.  When you receive the tree, you should plant it with the hessian still around the roots as it will quickly rot away and new root growth will easily push through the hessian.

The rootballed option is only available during the colder months of the year when they are dormant (usually between November and March, weather depending). 

Due to the size of these Multistem White Barked Birch (Betula utilis Jacquemontii) trees, we will need to quote for delivery on an individual basis. Please telephone us to discuss delivery of your plants. Plants can, of course, be collected from our nursery free of charge.

Careful preparation of your planting site is important and we recommend mixing your soil with compost and/or farmyard manure to give your trees the best start.

We also stock a range of other specimen trees suitable for garden planting. These can be viewed on our trees page.
