Betula albosinensis - Red bark birch

Betula albosinensis, commonly known as the Red Bark Birch or Chinese Red Birch, is a stunning ornamental tree admired for its beautiful peeling copper-red bark and graceful, upright form. Offering exceptional year-round interest, it makes a striking feature tree for gardens, parks and landscaped spaces.Fresh green leaves emerge in spring alongside elegant catkins that attract bees and other pollinators. During autumn, the foliage turns brilliant shades of golden yellow before falling to reveal the tree's spectacular bark. As the bark peels, it displays rich tones of copper, cinnamon, orange and mahogany, creating an eye-catching winter feature that becomes even more impressive as the tree matures.The Red Bark Birch thrives in moist, well-drained soils and performs best in full sun or partial shade. It can be grown as a single-stem specimen or as a multi-stem tree, where its colourful bark creates a dramatic architectural display throughout the colder months.
