The Betula utilis jacquemontii 'Snow Queen', also known as the Himalayan Birch, is a spectacular bare root ornamental tree admired for its gleaming, pure-white bark that peels in papery layers. With a naturally upright habit and soft, airy foliage that turns golden-yellow in autumn, it provides year-round beauty. The Snow Queen is particularly prized for its brighter bark display compared to many other birches, making it a superb feature tree for both gardens and larger landscapes.

Tree arrived nicely packaged and was soon a focal point of the garden. Really pleased with it!
Very pleased with my new tree. It arrived beautifully wrapped and undamaged. Lovely size. Thank you
Excellent quality tree
And good delivery
Well packaged
From ordering to delivery after a hicup as we live in a new development the customer service at Bowhayes is second to none. I will use Bowhayes again. The tree's arrived perfectly packed without any damage.
I ordered 5 bare root Himalayan birches, but they didn't have 5 the same size. I called and spoke to someone in packing who was really helpful, friendly and clearly passionate about what they grow. Fiona in the office couldn't have been more helpful. I turned out they had an extra one of the size we wanted so amended the order, and even added on the end of season sale discount that we had missed by 24 hours. The trees are all great specimens and really well packed for delivery
