The Kenaica is quite a unique birch that is native to the coldest locations of Alaska. It is a strong vigorous tree which grows upright, and feels right at home in any exposed, unprotected location.

During the cold winter months, it will not only thrive but will add some desired warmth to a still-frozen landscape. It is in fact very similar to a big serving of baked Alaska dessert. The Kenaica is a creamy meringue colour, with soft whites through its mature bark. As the younger branches stem out, this colour melts into deeper mahogany fudge and burnt toffee melts. This is fantastic as a multi-stem variety within a minimal winter location.

During the summer, the tree has golden-green leaves, which provide a dappled shade. This allows the unique bark colours to be seen during the summer and remain its prominent feature. The Kenaica has learned to take great care of its appearance. It has built up a resilience to the orange infectious spots of rust attack, ensuring its display remains unspoiled.
