Product Description

1 Downy Birch / Betula pubescens

 

These are BARE ROOTED plants which can be planted from the end of October until April and will be dispatched as soon as the weather turns cold and they become dormant.The dispatch date depends on the Autumn temperature and varies from year to year.  

 

Betula pubescens (Downy Birch; also known as White Birch, European White Birch or Hairy Birch) is a species of birch, native and abundant throughout northern Europe, Iceland, northern Asia and also Greenland.

 

It is a deciduous tree growing to 10-20 m tall. In spring, the male catkins turn yellow and shed their pollen to the green female catkins on the same tree. Leaves are ovate, more rounded at the base than silver birch leaves. Leaf stalks are usually downy, as opposed to hairless on Silver Birch.

    Sturdy well rooted plants at height stated. Should get off to good start in spring. Only one quibble - They were sent on a Friday which meant 3 days in packet so a little dry on arrival.
