Product Description

1 Silver Birch 5-6ft Stunning  Mature Specimen Trees, Betula Pendula

 

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 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.

    Posted by Anne Vivienne Slinger on 18th Apr 2024

    As was the case with all my previous purchases, tree arrived in good condition and a perfect size as requested. We are on the West Coast of Scotland and have no fears about buying from this Irish based vendor they do a great job!

    I was delivered a lovely Silver Birch bare root tree. I seem to have ordered it quite a while ago. I aslso think instructions on planting it would be a good idea.

    Not disappointed

    Posted by Katharine Walker on 7th Dec 2021

    Good looking specimen, looking forward to seeing it fire up next spring. Comprehensive planting instructions, arrived later than expected but that is GOOD because we’ve had a really mild autumn and the plant would not have been dormant until now. The package arrived looking kind of weird, my son thought it was a Harry Potter broomstick, but the roots and tips of the tree had survived very well even if it took two of us 10 minutes to get through all the cling film.

    Bought the silver birch for my new build. I have always loved silver birch trees but never had the opportunity to have somewhere to plant one. This tree was delivered perfectly in undamaged condition ready to plant. Looks amazing.
