Betula pendula FastigiataAbout this product
Betula pendula Fastigiata, also known as Silver Birch, is such an elegant native tree, but it can grow too large for a small garden. However, if space is an issue, you no longer have to miss out on its silvery white bark and pretty leaves!
Betula pendula Fastigiata is well-named. It forms a dense column of green foliage that turns yellow in the autumn. When the leaves drop, its lovely bark colour is better revealed, giving this small garden tree year-round interest.
Thriving on most well-drained soils, this lovely clonal selection needs next to no maintenance and takes up very little lateral room in a small garden where space is at a premium. Even though Betula pendula Fastigiata is a small tree, it will give you height, growing between 20 and 30 feet at maturity, so if aligned carefully, it can be a useful tree to cover privacy angles from on-looking neighbouring windows.
