Betula utilis is a striking deciduous tree best known for its brilliant white bark, which peels in thin, papery layers to reveal fresh, smooth surfaces beneath. Native to the Himalayas, it forms a graceful, upright tree typically reaching 10–15 metres in height, often with a light, airy canopy. Its dark green, ovate leaves create a delicate contrast against the luminous bark and turn soft yellow in autumn, adding seasonal interest.
