Description
Betula utilis ‘Jacquemontii’ is one of the finest white-barked birch trees available, prized for its exceptionally bright, pure white bark that becomes more prominent as the tree matures. The smooth bark provides outstanding year-round interest, especially in winter when it contrasts beautifully against darker garden backdrops.
Fresh green foliage emerges in spring, creating a light, airy canopy through summer before turning soft golden-yellow in autumn. Its elegant, upright habit and delicate leaves make it ideal for gardens, lawns, and landscape planting.
Hardy and adaptable, ‘Jacquemontii’ performs well in a wide range of soil conditions and is particularly valued as a specimen or avenue tree.
Supplied as a standard tree with 12–14cm girth in a 45-litre pot, approximately 3–3.5m in height, this well-established specimen provides immediate structural and ornamental impact.
