- Variety Specifications
- Planting & Care
- A standout native tree, enhancing any garden with its striking silver-white bark and elegantly drooping branches.
- As it ages, the bark peels away like paper, revealing dark fissures and cracks that give each tree its own unique character.
- A wildlife haven, supporting over 300 insect species, moths, various fungi, and providing nesting sites for birds like woodpeckers.
- The tree's 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.
- Enhances soil quality by spreading its roots wide, accessing nutrients that are then returned to the soil through fallen leaves.
- In Celtic tradition, the silver birch symbolized renewal, with its twigs used to cleanse the old year's spirits.
