Betula Utilis Var. Jacquemontii ‘Tickle Creek’ 6 Gal

Tickle Creek Whitebark Birch

Betula utilis var. Jacquemontii 'Tickle Creek'

RARE. Coarse, lacy, deeply cut leaves fill out the new, slow growing Betula utilis var. jacquemontii ‘Tickle Creek’. Young, rough textured white twigs turn to smooth copper the second season. Copper colored trunk and branches mature, in time, to the white bark similar to the parent tree.  Discovered at Islei's Tickle Creek farm growing as a witches broom on a large Whitebark Birch. 

Grow in full sun and well-drained soil, grows 3-6" per year.
