All about Hergest birch

Hergest is a form of the Chinese red birch, named for the coppery red colour of its peeling striated bark.

History

Although it has many of the characteristics of Betula albosinensis, Hergest is thought by some to be hybrid of Betula ermanii. It was discovered at Hergest Croft Gardens on the Engish / Welsh border.
