- Planting & Care
- A standout native tree, its striking silver-white bark and elegant, drooping branches enhance any garden.
- The bark peels away like paper as it ages, revealing dark fissures that give each tree a unique character.
- A haven for wildlife, it supports over 300 insect species, moths, and fungi, while providing nesting sites for birds like woodpeckers.
- Its light canopy of bright green, serrated leaves is perfect for underplanting and turns a vibrant golden yellow in autumn.
- In spring, clusters of yellow and green catkins appear, with seeds that attract birds such as siskins, greenfinches, and redpolls.
- Improves soil quality by drawing up nutrients through its wide-spreading roots, which are returned to the soil via fallen leaves.
- In Celtic tradition, the silver birch symbolises renewal and new beginnings.

Product Specifications
- Height on Arrival: 300-350cm including rootball (Air-Pot® sold separately)
- Supplied As: Air-Pot® Grown Rootballed Tree. This tree is grown in an Air-Pot®, which promotes healthy root growth by air-pruning roots and preventing root spiraling. Before delivery, we will unclip the Air-Pot® and wrap the tree's rootball in hessian so that your tree can be transported safely and we can reuse the pot. You can also purchase the Air-Pot® seperately if you prefer and we will send the tree in the pot in which it was grown.
- Age: Our trees are typically between 18 and 36 months old when shipped.
- Pruning: Trees are expertly pruned before shipping to encourage robust, bushy growth.
