Betula utilis Snow Queen is one of the most popular varieties of birch trees. It’s a medium-sized, deciduous tree with a pyramid-shaped crown and ascending branches. Its snowy white exfoliating bark is stunning all year round. It is very similar to Betula jacquemontii except it gets its shinny white bark earlier in its life. Its leaves are ovate, dark green, turning bright yellow in autumn. Male flowers are yellowish-brown and appear in dropping catkins, while female are greenish and appear in upright catkins. Betula utilis Snow Queen can grow in any type of soil, even sand or clay, as long as it is moist and well-drained. It thrives in full sun or partial shade. It does best in cool northern climates. Does not tolerate heat and humidity. Himalayan Birch Snow Queen, with its highly ornamental white peeling bark, is an exceptional tree, perfect as a specimen plant or in beds and borders. Great for cottage and urban gardens.
