Betula utilis var. jacquemontii (Multi-Stem Himalayan Birch)

Betula utilis var. jacquemontii, commonly known as Himalayan Birch, is a striking deciduous tree admired for its exceptionally white bark and elegant, multi-stemmed form. Popular in contemporary landscapes and woodland-style planting, it brings architectural structure and seasonal interest, particularly in winter when the brilliant bark contrasts beautifully against darker foliage and skies.

This multi-stem variety produces soft green, ovate leaves that turn buttery yellow in autumn, adding layers of visual texture throughout the year. In spring, the tree bears catkins that gently sway in the breeze, enhancing its natural charm. Its upright habit and light canopy also make it ideal for underplanting with shade-tolerant perennials and groundcover.

Well-suited to UK conditions, Betula jacquemontii prefers a position in full sun or light dappled shade, thriving in moist, well-drained soils. It is hardy, low-maintenance, and particularly effective when planted in small groups or as a focal point in open spaces.

We typically stock Betula utilis var. jacquemontii multi-stems in a range of sizes from 250–350cm height, often supplied in 45L to 160L pots. Other specifications can be sourced on request. For tailored advice or to check availability, please contact us using the form below or give us a call.
