The Multistem Silver Birch is a multi-stemmed specimen of Betula utilis ‘Jacquemontii’, grown with several trunks rising from the base to create an elegant, open canopy. This is one of the most popular and visually striking multistem trees, prized above all for its stunning, pure white bark that provides year-round impact — particularly in winter.

The bark begins to whiten from a young age, peeling in papery layers to reveal smooth, brilliant white trunks beneath. With multiple stems, this effect is multiplied, creating a grove-like appearance that is extraordinarily beautiful against dark backgrounds or winter skies. The delicate, diamond-shaped leaves emerge bright green in spring, fluttering on slender branches through summer before turning a warm golden-yellow in autumn.

Betula utilis ‘Jacquemontii’ has a naturally graceful, open habit with a light, airy canopy that casts only dappled shade, making it an excellent choice for underplanting. It thrives in moist but well-drained soil and full sun to partial shade. It is extremely hardy and adaptable, though shallow chalk soils should be avoided. An outstanding specimen tree for contemporary and traditional gardens alike.
