Whitespire Birch features a beautiful, upright, spire-like form with striking white, non-exfoliating bark and excellent resistance to bronze birch borer. Glossy, dark green foliage provides rich summer color before turning yellowish-green in fall.
Highly adaptable, Whitespire performs best in moist, well-drained, slightly acidic soil, but has proven to be one of the most reliable birches for challenging landscape sites.
Originally selected over twenty years ago by Dr. Edward R. Hasselkus at the University of Wisconsin–Madison Arboretum, this selection was first believed to be Betula platyphylla japonica. It has since been identified as Betula populifolia (Gray Birch), a species well known for its resistance to bronze birch borer.
Our plants are grown from seed collected from the original Whitespire Birch selection in an isolated seed block. This differs from Whitespire Senior, which is vegetatively propagated from the original ‘Whitespire’ plant. Since Whitespire has been identified as a resistant Gray Birch selection, we feel vegetative propagation is unnecessary.
Over time, it has proven to be one of the most dependable and useful birches for difficult landscape conditions.
