Betula pendula - Silver Birch - Bareroot

Betula pendula, commonly known as the Silver Birch, is one of Britain's most iconic native trees. Renowned for its striking white bark, graceful weeping branches and delicate foliage, it is a fast-growing tree that brings elegance, movement and year-round interest to gardens, parks and landscapes.Fresh green, diamond-shaped leaves emerge in spring alongside slender yellow-brown catkins that provide an early source of pollen for bees. Throughout summer, the airy canopy creates light, dappled shade before turning brilliant golden yellow in autumn. During winter, the tree's distinctive silvery-white peeling bark and elegant branch structure create a stunning architectural feature.Silver Birch is exceptionally hardy and adaptable, thriving in a wide range of soils, including poor and sandy ground. As one of the UK's most wildlife-friendly native trees, it supports hundreds of species of insects, birds and fungi, making it an excellent choice for biodiversity as well as ornamental value.
