Betula jacquemontii, commonly known as Himalayan Birch, is a striking deciduous tree prized for its brilliant white bark and elegant form. Betula jacquemontii forms a narrow, upright crown when young that broadens with age. The tree bears ovate, dark green leaves that turn golden-yellow in autumn, and small, wind-pollinated catkins in spring. Its smooth, bright white bark peels in papery layers, providing year-round ornamental interest. It is commonly planted as a specimen tree, in avenues, or in groupings for visual impact in both formal and naturalistic landscapes.
