Betula utilis subsp. jacquemontii 'Doorenbos'
himalayan birch ( syn. Snow Queen )
Creating a wonderful specimen in the winter garden, the bare stems of this deciduous Himalayan birch will provide a striking wintery silhouette, which can be further enhanced by underplanting with snowdrops.
Unlike many of the other birches, Betula utilis subsp. jacquemontii 'Doorenbos' takes just 3 or 4 years to develop its snowy colour, so you'll receive a quick return on your investment!
Eventually growing into a large tree, the canopy remains light and airy, so will offer dappled shade in full leaf.
Supplied as single-stemmed or multi-stemmed trees. Single-stemmed trees can be closely planted for multi-stem effect.

How to care for Betula utilis subsp. jacquemontii Doorenbos:
When planting, add some soil conditioner (well-rotted compost) to the planting hole and some mycorrhizal fungi to aid root establishment.
Ensure the top of the plant's compost is flush with the level of the surrounding soil and the collar of the tree is above ground level.
Support taller specimens either with a bamboo cane and or stake during establishment. Water generously around the base of the plant.
Birches need little pruning, but you may want to remove any diseased or crossing branches. It is essential that any pruning work is carried out between late summer to mid winter as the sap will 'bleed' heavily at other times.
