Deciduous Trees For Coastal Areas
Betula nigra (River Birch)
Betula nigra, commonly known as River Birch, is a large, deciduous tree that will grow almost anywhere. It grows rapidly with a pyramidal habit when young and tends to broaden out with age, eventually reaching 15 m tall and 8 m wide. The foliage emerges mid-green in spring and remains this way before developing yellow tones in autumn and falling. Betula nigra is well suited to growing as a specimen in parks and large gardens, for planting beside water features such as ponds and streams, growing as a screen or for shelter on heavier soils, or using in riparian plantings.

Ulmus glabra pendula (Weeping Elm)
Ulmus glabra Pendula, commonly known as the Weeping Elm tree, is a deciduous variety grown for its cascading and colourful foliage.

These are held on pendulous branches that will reach to the ground as it grows to 4 m tall and the same wide. Ulmus glabra Pendula is commonly grown as a specimen or included in mixed planting. It looks very impressive when planted either side of an entrance where space permits.
