Betula pendula 'Alba' is a weeping deciduous tree growing 12m x 6m with a beautiful white trunk, pendulous branches and silvery green foliage.

Its leaves change from green to gold in autumn which makes it a lovely tree for year-round interest.

The Silver Birch has a fibrous root system which means that they are unlikely to damage paths or underground pipes but require mulching in summer to retain moisture.

They like full sun or part shade in a well drained, fertile, moist soil.

Effective as a speciman tree, avenue plantings, or effective in group plantings.
