In our opinion, a much more attractive tree than Silver Birch. This is a medium-sized tree with spectacular,white, peeling bark, which contrasts well with the cinnamon-orange of its branches. It has oval, dark green leaves that turn beautiful shades of golden yellow in the autumn.

This tree is supplied at a height of 1.8-2.0m (6ft-6ft7") in a 12L container for year round planting and better results than from bare-root stock.Expect a final height of 10-15m although manual pruning and/or keeping in a container will keep this height down. Although you can prune the shape down, the Snow Queen is best left alone as they perform better without any regular or structured pruning. 

For best results plant in an acid biased soil (emptying old car batteries on your lawn will not help!) The Snow Queen is drought tolerant so for those forgetful people out there or those that don't own a hose pipe and don't understand the operating instructions to a watering can, then this tree is definitely for you. On the flip side, if you are a very nurturing gardener and water your garden too much, the Snow Queen will also tolerate that although standing water maybe an issue. 

We also hold the Snow Queen as a Multi stem option (click rootstock option below to select).

The Snow Queen is also known as Jacquemontii Dorenbos.

The standard option will have approximately 50-100 cm of clear trunk whereas the muilt stem option starts at ground level. A visually stunning effect for major wow factor in any garden or avenue.
