Betula pendula

A medium sized, deciduous tree with silvery white bark, graceful branches and heart-shaped leaves that turn golden-yellow in autumn. 

The popular Silver Birch is commonly planted in residential gardens. The smooth trunks and elegant branches provide year-round interest. Bark is bronzy-grey when young, later turning papery white and becomes roughly fissured with greyish-black patches on the trunk as it ages and small winged nutlets are borne in a pendulous 'cone' (a strobilus) that sheds in autumn. Male and female flowers are borne separately on the same plant (monoecious) in long, pale green, paired catkins during spring.

Create an attractive copse in larger gardens by planting odd numbered groups, or use as a single feature tree.

Grow in a sunny to partly shaded position in moist, well rained soil. Keep well watered until established.

Grows 6m W x 10m H
