Betula albosinensis ‘Bowling Green’

A form of this wonderful Chinese birch originally selected for its bark qualities from an Ernest Wilson collection growing at Werrington, Cornwall. The bark is a warm pinkish-red-brown and peels off to reveal a darker underside. With backlighting the peelings shine bright orange in low sun. A fast growing medium sized tree, easy and hardy. Best as a group planting, for more bark effect.
