Birch, Whitespire Gray

Betula populifolia 'Whitespire', a distinguished cultivar of the Gray Birch, emerges as a horticultural triumph of botanical precision, flourishing across its impressive Zone 3-7 hardiness range with extraordinary native elegance. This exceptional specimen achieves a versatile mature form of 20-40 feet in height and 15-20 feet in width, presenting an upright habit that provides structural definition and architectural sophistication to landscape designs.

Its verdant green foliage provides a lush backdrop throughout the growing season, culminating in a spectacular autumn transformation as leaves burst into a radiant display of golden-yellow, setting the landscape ablaze with the vibrant warmth of seasonal change. Representing a pinnacle of modern horticultural breeding, this cultivar combines ecological resilience, structural integrity, and aesthetic refinement in a singularly impressive native species that brings extraordinary botanical sophistication to gardens and designed landscapes.
