Betula populifolia 'Whitespire' is a durable native grey birch selection valued for its crisp white bark, airy branching habit, and ability to establish quickly in challenging conditions. Triangular dark green foliage moves freely in the wind and transitions to soft yellow in fall while the bright bark provides consistent winter interest. More tolerant of heat, drought, poor soils, and urban stressors than many other birches, 'Whitespire' grey birch is highly effective for reclamation projects, streetscapes, and naturalized plantings. Its filtered canopy also allows for successful understory planting or soft landings in designed landscapes.
