Larger than the average birch tree, the ‘Blush’ is fantastic choice for a feature tree in a medium-large sized garden. The diamond-shaped green leaves have serrated margins and turn to a striking yellow over autumn. The bark offers fantastic winter interest as it is predominantly white, but with a pink-red blush over it. This tree is quite a rare find in the UK, but we think it is set to be a popular choice in the future.
