Betula utilis (Multi-Stem) – Elegance in Every Season
Betula utilis, commonly known as the Himalayan Birch, is one of the most admired ornamental birches, renowned for its dazzling white bark that glows in every season. In a multi-stem form, it creates a sculptural, architectural presence — graceful, airy, and timeless.
In spring, soft green leaves emerge, shimmering in the breeze. Through summer, the canopy remains light and open, casting dappled shade that allows underplanting to flourish. Autumn brings a transformation, as the foliage turns a warm golden yellow, falling to reveal the smooth, gleaming bark. Even in the depths of winter, its elegant stems provide structure and light in the landscape.
Why Choose Betula utilis Multi-Stem?
Year-Round Beauty – White bark, fresh green foliage, golden autumn colour.
Architectural Form – Multi-stem shape adds sculptural elegance.
Versatile – Perfect for both modern landscapes and naturalistic gardens.
