Betula alba pendula - Silver Birch

Add elegance and movement to your garden with the Betula alba pendula, commonly known as the Silver Birch. This graceful, fast-growing tree is loved for its striking white peeling bark, which becomes more pronounced with age, and its drooping branches that dance in the breeze. In early spring, it produces catkins before the fresh, mid-green leaves unfurl. Come autumn, the foliage turns a brilliant golden yellow, creating a final burst of colour before falling.

Perfect for wildlife gardens and naturalistic planting schemes, Silver Birch thrives in full sun and prefers moist but well-drained soils, though it tolerates a wide range of conditions. It's incredibly low-maintenance, just remove any dead wood in late winter if needed. Pair with grasses, heathers, ferns, or spring bulbs for a woodland-inspired feel. A favourite among birds and pollinators, this native beauty brings structure, softness, and seasonal interest to any garden. Plant in open spaces or as part of a mixed border for a tree that’s as resilient as it is beautiful.

Supplied in approx. 12 litre containers.
