Description: Betula utilis ‘Moonbeam’ is a fine birch that is considerably smaller than other forms making it perfect for the small garden or space. Creates an attractive range of features including bright white, peeling bark which takes centre stage throughout the whole year. The green leaves turn a buttery yellow in the autumn.
History: Propagated from a fine specimen at Wakehurst Place, Sussex.
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.
