We're sorry, this plant is currently out of stock! New specimens will be available in late autumn 2010. Please email us at sales@bluebellnursery.com or telephone us on (01530) 413700 if you wish to order in advance.

Description

An unusual selection with a beautiful, coppery-pink bark when established. In our opinion, the bark colour is more vivid than that of a standard Betula ermanii. The leaves are oval, bright green and can turn bright yellow in a good autumn. A Birch with excellent winter interest.
