Betula utilis ‘Nepalese Orange‘ is an unusual Himalayan birch grown for its eye-catching orange and bronze bark once established. Bark maybe creamy when immature with established plants developing noticeable lenticels (raised pores) running horizontally across the bark. The summer leaves are dark green with yellow and bronze tints before falling in autumn.
