Description
The ‘Grayswood Ghost’ is aptly named due to its sparkling white bark: one of the whitest birch barks around. The bark makes an outstanding focal point in winter, giving this tree year-round interest. The leaves are dark green in colour with a rich and glossy sheen to them; they are usually preceded by brown catkins in early spring. Autumn sees a final show from the foliage as the leaves turn to crisp shades of yellow before falling.
This birch will eventually grow to have an upright, conical crown. This is a beautiful specimen and it should be planted in a position where its ornamental qualities can be enjoyed. We recommend planting this as a trio if you have room, or if you want a dramatic garden feature then an avenue of birch trees is a sight to behold.
Common Name: Himalayan Birch Tree
