- Planting & Care
- Enjoy striking winter beauty with its famous, brilliant white peeling bark that reveals a fresh layer each year.
- In early summer, its vibrant green leaves are joined by yellow and green catkins, a valuable food source for pollinators.
- Watch as female catkins mature into cone-like fruits, releasing winged seeds that travel on the wind.
- Provides year-round interest, with leaves turning a glorious golden-yellow in autumn before falling to reveal the stark white branches.
- A fast-growing, large deciduous tree, reaching an eventual height of up to 18m.
- Ideal as a stunning standalone specimen or planted in small groups of three or more for greater impact.
- Its bark has a rich history, traditionally used in Kashmir for writing sacred texts and mantras.
