Description: Betula ermanii ‘Polar Bear’ is a very strong growing tree that quickly develops a pure white trunk. After some years and with a little imagination this tree starts to resemble the polar bear of its name with its typical heavy branch structure. The dark green leaves emerge alongside the long, yellowish brown catkins. An attractive golden autumn colour compliments the white exfoliating bark making it the perfect all year round tree.
Betula Growing Tips: They will succeed on most soils with certain species happy even in wet sites. Although tolerant of chalk soils they will not reach a maximum size in these conditions. Best planted in a full sun position.
Height and Spread (after 10 years) : 6m x 4m
