Picture

Betula albo-sensis
var. septentrionalis


Chinese Red Birch




​
  • Common Name: Chinese Red Britch
  • Botanical Name: Betula albo-sensis var. septentrionalis
  • Mature Height: 10-15m
  • ​Key Features: Coppery-red to cream-pink bark; Spring catkins; Excellent shape and form for garden planting​

One of the most exquisite birches native to China. Betula albosinensis var. septentrionalis makes a beautiful slender medium size tree. The open and ascending branch structure ensures constant views of the glistening bark that is coppery-red at first then aging to creamy pinks and crimsons before exfoliating in large sheets

In early spring male catkins provide extra interest in shades of honey and yellow and can reach up to 10cm long before the matt green leaves appear. When in full leaf the tree provides the trademark birch dappled shade, fragmenting the sunlight and casting dancing shadows.
​
This is a rare birch that you will not see too often but is well suited to UK growing. Like most birches it will perform happily in any reasonably good ground. Full Hardy
