Scientific Name:
Betula maximowicziana X unknown

Family:
Hybrid Monarch Birch

Family:
Betulaceae

Description:
The peeling white bark of Monarch Birch is among the most attractive of all birches; however, there is much mislabeling of all the white-barked birches in the nursery industry, so even if a tree is labeled with a tag, its true identity may be subject to question.
