Betula utilis 'Doorenbos' is a rising tree with diagonally spreading branches, with a height of 15 to 20 m. A narrow shape in its juvenile stage, later growing wider with a relatively uniform crown. Cream-white bark already at an early age, which peels in wide strips revealing the dark brown bark underneath. Leaf wide ovate, shiny dark green with bigger serration than Betula utilis. Very striking tree that blooms profusely. Very beautiful winter silhouette. Beautiful park and avenue tree on open green verges.
