An Ornamental Feature Tree With a Twist

‘Snowbird’ sets itself apart with variegated leaves that emerge in spring with creamy white margins, creating a luminous effect in the garden. This makes it a perfect feature tree where visual interest is needed without relying solely on flower or autumn colour.

Ideal for Structured Landscapes and Large Gardens

With a strong upright form, ‘Snowbird’ fits beautifully into formal planting schemes, avenues, or as a solo focal point. It performs best in full sun and well-drained soil and reaches impressive height over time, making it ideal for larger properties and landscape designs.

Adapted to NZ Conditions

Locally grown and well acclimated to New Zealand's climate, this cultivar is both hardy and low-maintenance. It thrives in a range of conditions and responds well to seasonal changes with attractive foliage and strong growth.
