Betula pendula Fastigata - Birch Tree
Availability: In stock
Betula pendula ‘Fastigiata’ is a form of the classic Silver Birch that is valued for its elegant, columnar habit and distinctive white bark that develops attractive fissures and dark markings as it matures. Unlike the typical spreading birch, this cultivar maintains a narrow, fastigiate shape, with ascending branches that create a refined, architectural silhouette ideal for settings where space is limited. Fresh green, diamond-shaped leaves flutter delicately in the breeze throughout spring and summer before turning clear yellow in autumn, while slender catkins add seasonal interest and a soft, natural charm.
Easy to grow and highly adaptable, ‘Fastigiata’ thrives in full sun and prefers moist but well-drained soil, though it will tolerate a range of conditions once established. Minimal pruning is required beyond removing any dead or crossing branches in late winter. It pairs beautifully with underplantings of spring bulbs, ornamental grasses, or shade-tolerant perennials such as Hostas and Geraniums. It works particularly well in avenues, contemporary gardens, or as a vertical accent in mixed borders. Hardy and dependable, this elegant birch offers year-round structure, graceful movement, and light-filtering beauty.
