BETULA JACQUEMONTII HIMALAYAN BIRCH tree in new zealand

BETULA JACQUEMONTII - HIMALAYAN BIRCH

The best of the birches for a warmer climate with vigorous growth. Green ovate leaves turn yellow or brown in autumn and the spectacular white barked trunk and branches offer a stunning effect against a bland or simple back drop. The soft light allowed through the tree when in leaf creates a light shade effect.
