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.

    3 x Sliver Birch Trees

    Posted by Captain Chaos on 5th Dec 2020

    Hi, looking online for Silver Birch Trees I found the 3 Fat Pigs website I choose 3 SILVER BIRCH 6FT+ the size was what I was looking for. Not sure what to expect . They arrived by courier cling film wrapped and supported by bamboo canes they appeared shorter than 6 ft. When I unwrapped them I found that the tops had been bent over in a curve and supported by a bamboo cane. The condition was great the tops once straightened are fine and the "leader's" are intact the head and trunk are clean and undamaged, the root ball's (bare rooted) are clean, large amount of fine roots with almost no damage. The larger roots clean cut. So pleased yes. Use again yes

    Silver Birch Trees

    Posted by Unknown on 27th Feb 2017

    The Silver Birch Trees that I ordered from Beechwood nurseries arrived promptly after ordering them online. They were well wrapped and packaged to avoid any damage in transit. Once opened they appeared very healthy with a well developed root system. They are now planted and I look forward to seeing how they establish themselves over the next few months. It would have been useful had Beechwood nurseries included planting notes with the trees.
