Trinity College

Betula utilis jacquemontii

Trinity College features the bright white bark associated with Himalayan birch trees (Betula utilis), but it is smaller and more upright than most others of this species - likely to reach 6m after 10 years - making it a good choice for smaller gardens.

The stem turns white from a young age, and the tree grows with an upright graceful form.
