The Whitespire Birch, Betula populifolia ‘Whitespire’,
is an Ed Hasselkus from the University of
Wisconsin-Madison introduction with chalk-white bark
that does not exfoliate. It is a deciduous tree with a
strong central leader and has a distinctive and refined
pyramidal form.
It is considered more heat tolerant than other
white-barked birches; therefore, it is often recommended
for planting further south than most other white-barked
birch trees. It is tolerant of most soil conditions and
considered to be resistant to bronze birch borer. 'Whitespire'
has a low canopy with a typical clearance of 4 feet from
the ground, and isn't suitable for planting under power
lines.
It grows at a medium rate, and under ideal conditions,
can be expected to live for approximately 40 years. 'Whitespire'
Birch has a higher disease resistance than most other
birches which makes this a preferred variety for home
landscape use!
