Full Description

Description: Betula gmelinii ‘Mount Apoi’ is a slow growing tree, perfect for smaller gardens or spaces. The attractive creamy white bark develops a shaggy nature with age and the dark green foliage turns deep yellow throughout the autumn before leaf fall. A cluster of green catkins appear during the spring with the fresh leaf growth.

History: Named by Danish workers at a Betula conference. Or possibly Kenneth Lorentzon. This genotype is thought to be a natural hybrid of Betula ermanii and Betula fruticosa and the correct species name is Betula gmelinii. It’s old name of Betula fruticosa var. apoiensis has now been categorised as a form of Betula gmelinii (‘The Genus Betula – McAllister & Ashburner). From seed collected by Prof. Hideaki Ohba from Mt. Apoi, Hokkaido, Japan. Not a true Betula ermanii cultivar, but sometimes treated as one by the trade.

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) : 4m x 3m
