HImalayan Birch
I have just been given a Himalayan Birch. Betula Jacquemontii. It is a beautifully shaped little tree, pot grown, well feathered and about 1.5 metres tall. I imagine it to be three or four years old but that is just a guess. So what is my problem? Well, the bark is not white as in the books. It is a soft grey colour with hundreds of little white spots on it . Do these coalesce as the tree matures giving the white bark.or have I got a silver birch with thrush? |
