Betula pendula

Silver Birch

Betula pendula, commonly known as Silver Birch, is an elegant, medium-sized, deciduous tree renowned for its slender, drooping branches and white bark. The leaves are light green and develop yellow tones in autumn before falling as it grows to 15 m and spreads 10 m wide. Betula pendula is an excellent tree for planting in clusters, for providing light shade, or using for screening and shelter. Its showy bark and fine foliage makes it a lovely specimen and it is well suited to avenue planting.
