Betula pendula is a familiar sight in the UK. Valued as a pioneer species, it is one of the first to colonise disrupted or polluted sites, improving soil structure and fertility with its deep root system. Silver Birch is instantly recognisable for the silvery-white, peeling bark covering its slender, upright stems. With maturity, the trunk will become blackened and rugged at the base. An elegant canopy of small green leaves and yellow spring catkins cover the fine, twiggy stems to create useful dappled shade. With its distinctive pendulous habit, this graceful British native makes an attractive specimen tree and a valuable addition to wildlife and woodland areas. Height: 12m (39’). Spread: 8m (26’).
This Betula pendula clump is produced by coppicing, to create a multi-stemmed plant that will make a real feature.
Plant height and spread is seasonal therefore we list by pot size rather than a defined plant size. The height and spread of the plant delivered will vary depending on the season, meaning arrival images are an indication only.
