Betula platyphylla – 50x Seeds

Also known as Asian White Birch or Japanese White Birch

Betula platyphylla is a beautiful, fast-growing deciduous tree prized for its striking white bark, elegant form, and fluttering, diamond-shaped green leaves that turn golden-yellow in autumn. Native to parts of East Asia, this birch species is well-suited to temperate climates and makes a standout feature tree in larger gardens or landscape plantings.

Mature trees typically reach 10–20 metres in height with an upright to slightly spreading habit. Betula platyphylla thrives in full sun and well-drained, fertile soil and prefers cooler regions for best bark development. Its graceful silhouette and ornamental bark make it popular in both urban and naturalistic designs.

A stunning landscape tree offering year-round interest—from fresh spring foliage to glowing autumn colour and brilliant white winter stems.

Well suited to cool and temperate Australian climates.
