Product Description

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

 

These are BARE ROOTED plants which can be planted from the end of October utnil 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.

    Silver Birch

    Posted by Royston Tomkins on 18th Mar 2024

    I received the trees I ordered within a week, they were well packaged and the root's still damp. The trees were purchased to plant as a memorial to our little dog Bella who was turning grey in her old age so we named the trees Silver Bella Birches. I hope to get many years sitting under them, thank you x

    another good purchase

    Posted by Liz on 15th Feb 2022

    I have been buying my trees and hedging here for a number of years and once again can't fault the product or the delivery. These trees were slightly taller than I would usually buy as they were in memory of loved ones recently departed and a family celebration, so it was important to us that they would arrive safe and sound, which they did. Thanks

    Great service and trees

    Very healthy specimens. My only complaint would be is that they were a bit shorter than I expected. Definitely at the 5ft end of the spectrum (maybe even 4ft) rather than 6ft. But I'm sure they're grow soon enough.

    Fine trees

    Posted by Sally on 27th Mar 2021

    My trees are exactly as described and exactly as I would've expected for specimen trees. They're in good condition with plenty of root. They were well packaged and arrived promptly,a happy customer, thank you. I would definitely buy from Beechwod again.

    Good Value

    Posted by C Tebbett on 20th Mar 2021

    We needed three Silver Birches for our garden and these came very promptly and well packed...even if my husband did think I'd bought a fishing rod!!However, they had travelled the distance from Ireland to the mainland very well and when unpacked and watered were quickly planted and they look fine..it's up to them now to grow. All three were between 5-6 feet tall and all three had good root systems. Thank you Beechwood Nurseries

    Posted by David on 22nd Dec 2020

    Trees arrived within a few days of order. Exceedingly well wrapped and in good shape. Now planted in a group and so far look great. Very happy with the service from Beechwood/Fat Pigs.
