Overview & Description

The Parkland Pillar Birch (Betula platyphylla ‘Jefpark’) is a striking ornamental tree with an exceptionally narrow, columnar form perfect for tight spaces where height and structure are desired. Its crisp white bark contrasts beautifully with dark green summer foliage, which transforms into vibrant golden-yellow in fall. The dense growth habit and upright silhouette create an elegant vertical accent ideal for screens, borders, or standout features.

Growth & Size

This variety exhibits an exceptionally narrow, columnar, and upright growth habit. It forms a slender, architectural tree, typically reaching a mature size of about 35 to 45 feet in height with a spread of only 8 to 10 feet.

Additional Notes

Deciduous with dark green summer foliage turning golden-yellow in fall, plus crisp white winter bark. Exceptionally hardy and cold-tolerant, it demonstrates impressive drought tolerance once established and adapts to various soil conditions. Low-maintenance yet high-impact, it is an outstanding choice for privacy screens, urban gardens, borders, or solitary focal points where sophistication, resilience, and year-round interest are desired in limited spaces.
