Betula utilis jacquemontii 'Snow Queen' Tree
Our most popular Birch tree, the evocatively named Betula 'Snow Queen' offers stunning winter interest with its snowy white, exfoliating bark. Also known as Betula utilis jacquemontii 'Doorenbos', it is favoured for its elegant slender form and white bark which develops earlier than on other Himalayan Birch trees.
Elegant mid-green ovate leaves form an airy canopy that creates privacy without blocking out too much light. In spring, the leaves are complemented by yellow/brown catkins which provide an early source of pollen for bees, whilst in autumn, the foliage turns a beautiful golden yellow.
The slender form of Betula utilis jacquemontii ‘Snow Queen’ makes it especially suitable for smaller gardens and it will reach approximately 7 x 3.5 metres in 20 years. Despite its graceful appearance, this Himalayan Birch is tough and adaptable, thriving in a wide range of soils and garden conditions. It is exceptionally hardy, making it suited to even the coldest areas of the UK.
This single-stem form of Snow Queen Birch adds elegance and architectural interest through all seasons. For those seeking more impact, we also offer multi stem 'Snow Queen' in a range of sizes and Betula utilis jacquemontii that grows slightly larger.
Nigel's Nursery Notes: Betula utilis jacquemontii 'Doorenbos' and 'Snow Queen' are the same variety. 'Snow Queen' is the newer British name.
