‘Doorenbos’ Himalayan birch is famed for its pure‑white bark that sheds in papery curls, stunning against winter skies. Growing 12–15 m with a graceful oval crown, it carries fresh green leaves that turn warm butter‑yellow in autumn and honey‑scented spring catkins for pollinators. Hardy to −35 °C, tolerant of damp or sandy soils and urban conditions, it creates year‑round interest as a specimen, avenue or in striking multi‑stem plantings when underplanted with shade‑tolerant perennials.
