Description: Betula albosinensis ‘Red Panda’ is a superb strong growing, upright form of birch. Copper-pink early peeling bark exposes grey and purple shades underneath. The oval, tapering dark green leaves turn into an attractive buttery yellow during the autumn followed by hanging, yellowish brown catkins in the spring as the new leaves open.
History: Grown at Wakehurst from seed collected from Steven Sponberg in Hubei Province, China in 1980.
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
