Betula pendula subsp. mandshurica
Betula pendula subsp. mandshurica
Manchurian white birch is a fast-growing ornamental tree prized for its striking white bark and graceful weeping form, ideal for large garden spaces or naturalistic landscapes. It prefers cool, moist conditions and performs best with consistent watering, especially during its first few years of establishment. Avoid planting in hot, dry sites and watch for bronze birch borer, which is the primary pest concern for this species.
