Description

Betula utilis 'Nepalese Orange' is a rare Himalayan Birch tree with exquisite, freely peeling copper, orange and cream bark. The bark looks even more stunning when it catches the sun. Distinctive lenticels add further texture to the colourful and tactile bark. The light canopy of pretty green leaves creates dappled shape.

Originating from Nepal, this is a hardy orange-barked Himalayan Birch tree. Betula 'Nepalese Orange' will reach a height and spread of around 7 x 4 metres in 20 years and will grow in most soil types.

Nigel's Nursery Notes: We're excited to offer this rare orange-barked variety.

Planting Steps

Aftercare Advice

Birch trees require a good watering regime for a couple of years whilst they establish. Water well and regularly through spring and summer, increasing in hot or dry weather. If planting in autumn, you may only need to water a little. Unlike many species, Birch prefer wet soil than dry. It is advisable to keep the area free of competing weeds and grass during this period.

Established Birch trees require minimal pruning and do not take well to hard pruning, as this increases light at the base of the tree, which in turn increases soil temperature and decreases moisture levels. Simply remove lateral shoots to maintain a clear trunk and prune any diseased or damaged branches. Pruning should be carried out in late summer to mid-winter. Birch trees bleed heavily at other times of the year, especially late winter.

Tip: to keep the colourful bark looking its best, you can wash it using water and a sponge.
