Betula utilis (Himalayan Birch) - full standard - (180-200cm clear stem) ROOTBALL

Betula Utilis, also known as Himalayan Birch, is an excellent deciduous tree that can be used to provide privacy by screening your garden and house from unwanted views or neighbours. These trees are often grown as standards or multi-stems, creating a striking architectural feature. By planting them in groups or as a standalone specimen, they offer a light, airy canopy while maintaining an elegant structure. Compared to denser evergreen trees, Betula Utilis allows dappled light to pass through, ensuring privacy without creating excessive shade. The striking white bark peels in layers, adding year-round visual interest, especially in winter. These trees provide seasonal screening with their golden autumn foliage before dropping leaves in winter. Betula Utilis is a medium-sized tree with a graceful habit and makes a fantastic focal point in any garden. It thrives in moist, well-drained soil and suits a range of garden styles, from contemporary to woodland settings.
