Buy Tickle Creek Whitebark Birch online. Tickle Creek Whitebark Birch is a distinctive new selection of Betula utilis var. jacquemontii, admired for its finely textured foliage and unique bark progression. Its coarse, deeply cut leaves create a lacy, eye-catching canopy that adds movement and character to the landscape, while its naturally slow growth ensures a manageable size for smaller spaces.

One of its most striking features is the transformation of its bark. Young branches emerge with a rough white texture, shifting to a smooth copper tone by the second season. As the tree matures, its trunk and branches gradually take on the classic white bark of its parent species, offering multi-season appeal with an evolving palette of color and texture.

Discovered as a witch's broom mutation at Iseli's Tickle Creek Farm, this rare introduction carries both beauty and horticultural intrigue. Best grown in full sun with well-drained soil, it is a rewarding choice for gardeners seeking an elegant focal point with year-round interest and a touch of botanical history.
