Betula 'Snow Queen'

Betula 'Snow Queen'The Snow Queen is a fast growing, medium size tree with a distinctive white bark that peels off in sheets, creating a wonderful ornamental effect. When first exposed, the peeling bark appears as a pale orange. The leaves are a deep green, creating a great contrast against the white trunk. The leaves have serrated edges and turn to deep shades of bronze and yellow in the autumn. In spring, the tree bursts with a display of vibrant golden catkins
