About this product

Betula pendula Westwood, a lovely clone of the UK native Silver Birch, originated from near Beverley, Yorkshire.

Particularly vigorous when young, this pyramidal tree has a great form. Its regular habit lends itself to being crown-lifted over time to show off its showy silvery bark. Like all Birches, this is best done from October through to December. 

Its green leaves turn to a buttercup yellow in the Autumn. 

This new introduction thrives on most free-draining soils and is surface-rooted. It has enough guts to thrive in the urban environment!

Mature height: 12-17m
