Betula albosinensis (Chinese Red Birch) 'Fascination'
Common name: Chinese Red Birch 'Fascination'
Species: Betula albosinensis
Cultivar: Fascination
The species from which Fascination was developed was brought back from China in 1901 by Ernest Wilson.
The dark green leaves, which are large for a birch, appear in April, along with a showy display of yellow catkins. It has outstanding stem colour - orange peeling to pink and cream. This is a medium to large tree, becoming oval as it matures, and is a good choice for parks and verges.
It grows well on most soils.
Mature height: 10-15m
