Product Description

1 Silver Birch Tree 4-5ft Tall in a 2L Pot

 

Betula pendula is a medium deciduous tree, typically reaching 15-25 m tall, exceptionally up to 39 m  , with a slender crown of arched branches with drooping branchlets.

The plain silver or common birch, sometimes called 'the lady of the woods' because of its outstanding elegance, is a great landscape feature, especially in autumn and while still young - older trees can become enormous, but without dominating or shading the garden too much. When planted 60cm (2ft) apart, the trees make a fine hedge, or may be grown 2.4m (8ft) apart as a screen or windbreak, which can be trimmed each winter. Growth is upright, later slightly weeping, especially the young outer stems - trim shoots off the trunk to reveal the attractive bark.

Deciduous trees shed their leaves as an active process that evolved to conserve resources and protect the tree from being blown over in the windier winter months. Some birch trees turn yellow due to temperature changes in the summer / early autumn. There is nothing to worry about. The trees will re-grow the foliage again in the spring time.

    Silver Birch Tree

    Posted by mick such on 14th Jun 2022

    Ordered the 5ft tree and it took a week to arrive from NI. When it arrived it was well packaged in a strong cardboard box and supporting cane. No damage to tree. It was nicely potted up and wrapped in plastic./ Potting compost was still damp. Tree was nicely shaped and has loads of branches just starting to leaf out. After a few hours soaking it was placed in the hole and staked out. Very happy with the order and delivery. A+

    Silver Birch 6ft

    Posted by MD on 31st Oct 2021

    My Silver Birch arrived in July and is now happily growing in our garden. The leaves are starting to drop which is to be expected. I am very happy with the service received and the trees I have bought from this company and will certainly use them again.

    Silver Birch 6ft

    Posted by Margaret on 9th Jul 2021

    The Silver Birch arrived in good time, well packed and as described. After some water and fresh air it straightened up and is now planted in our garden. I am very happy with purchases I have previously made from this company and will certainly use them again. I only gave it a 4 star rating as it needs time to settle into the garden and start growing. I am sure it will be fine. I made a similar purchase about 18 months ago and it is growing well. I hope to buy another Silver Birch in the near future. Thanks

    Fantastic Tree

    Posted by Sue on 7th Jul 2021

    Tree arrived promptly and was well-packaged. It is looking healthy and my gardener was amazed at the price for such a well-developed tree. It is planted in a sheltered spot and I will look forward to it maturing into a stunning tree. Thank you.

    Silver Birch

    Posted by Gillian Robinson on 6th May 2021

    This arrived promptly and was packaged very well. The tree seems healthy. I gave it a good drink of water for a few days and then planted it out. It is doing fine so far.
