Planting & Care

A standout UK native, celebrated for its striking silver-white bark and elegant, drooping branches.
The paper-like bark peels as it ages, revealing dark fissures that give each tree a unique character.
A haven for wildlife, supporting over 300 insect species and providing nesting sites for birds like woodpeckers.
Its light, airy canopy of bright green leaves is perfect for underplanting and turns a glorious golden-yellow in autumn.
In spring, yellow-green catkins appear, providing seeds for birds like siskins, greenfinches, and redpolls.
Improves soil quality by drawing up nutrients and returning them to the ground through its fallen leaves.
Steeped in Celtic tradition, the silver birch is a symbol of renewal and new beginnings.
