Betula populifolia 'Royal Frost' is a striking deciduous ornamental birch prized for its rich burgundy-purple foliage and brilliant white bark. The glossy leaves emerge deep purple in spring, retaining their vibrant colour through summer before developing attractive bronze-red tones in autumn. Combined with its crisp white bark and elegant upright habit, this cultivar creates an outstanding feature tree for modern landscapes, parks, and residential gardens.
Hardy, fast-growing, and low maintenance, Royal Frost Birch thrives in full sun and adapts well to a range of well-drained soils. It is ideal as a specimen tree, avenue planting, or grouped for dramatic contrast in the landscape. With its unique combination of colourful foliage, ornamental bark, and graceful form, Royal Frost offers exceptional year-round visual appeal.
