'Dakota Pinnacle' White Birch
FamilyBetulaceae
Betula platyphylla ‘Dakota Pinnacle’, also known as 'Dakota Pinnacle' Asian White Birch, is a hardy and narrow selection, ideal for restricted spaces or structured row plantings. This cultivar is distinguished by its slender columnar habit, luminous white bark that exfoliates slightly with age, and dense dark green foliage that turns golden yellow in autumn. Its naturally narrow form allows for easy integration into urban courtyards, tall hedges, or architectural plantings. Very hardy, resistant to cold and moderate drought, ‘Dakota Pinnacle’ is also less susceptible to foliage disease than other white birches. An elegant and low-maintenance vertical tree, perfect for Quebec gardens.
