Product Description

10 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.

    My order was delivered earlier than the stated time, in good condition, with very clear instructions. My query to Beechwood Trees was answered very helpfully and very promptly. I recommend this company and these trees very highly.

    They always arrive quickly from 3fatpigs Beechwood nurseries so I always look at their site first, the trees supplied have always been well grown too.
