During its early growth stage, Betula utilis ‘Doorenbos’ develops a narrow, upright crown; later, the crown expands significantly. Because this cultivar develops a broad crown, the tree looks its best in parks, green belts, and wider street settings.
A key ornamental feature is its striking white, peeling trunk. The fresh, glossy dark green foliage is highly ornamental in the summer. Betula utilis ‘Doorenbos’ is likely the most beautiful birch in the assortment thanks to its stunning trunk, making it highly recommended for planting. As a multi-stemmed shrub, this cultivar likely looks even better.
