Planting & Care

A standout native tree, its striking silver-white bark and elegantly drooping branches enhance any garden.
The bark peels away like paper as it ages, revealing dark fissures that give each tree unique character.
A haven for wildlife, it supports over 300 insect species and provides nesting sites for birds like woodpeckers.
Its bright green, serrated leaves create a light canopy perfect for underplanting, turning 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.
Silver birch improves soil quality by returning nutrients to the soil through its fallen leaves.
In Celtic tradition, the silver birch symbolized renewal and new beginnings.

Species: Birch
Features: Fantastic foliage, Native to UK, Autumn colour, Attractive bark
Flowering Season: Early spring, Late spring
Foliage Colour: Green
Flowering Time: March, April
Planting Time: January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November, December

Habit: Bushy
Eventual Spread: 10m

Hardiness: This tree is fully hardy, meaning it will survive under any condition including the occasional snowy winters in the UK.
Pest & Disease: Generally pest and disease resistant.
Soil: Suits any soil type that is moist but well-drained.
Pruning: Any pruning should be done when the tree is fully dormant, from late summer until early winter. If you prune in late winter or early spring when the sap is 'rising' this can cause heavy bleeding of sap and weaken or even kill the tree.
Root System: 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 for safe transport. You can purchase the Air-Pot® separately if you prefer the tree to be sent in the pot in which it was grown.
