Betula maximowicziana (Birch)
Common name:
Species: Betula maximowicziana
Cultivar:
An oddity within our Birch range, hardly looking like a member of the same family!
It is fast growing and has a dark brown trunk when young, maturing into greyish tinges.
The heart shaped leaves turn clear yellow in the autumn.
A native of Japan, this tree retains its pyramidal shape when young, but this broadens as maturity looms. The leaves are the biggest of all the Birch family, sometimes attaining over 12cm in length.
Mature Height: 15-20m
