Product Description

5 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.

    Nice condition bare root trees

    Posted by Unknown on 7th Jan 2021

    We've only just planted them, so don't know how they'll grow, but they appeared to be good trees with well-developed roots, well-packaged and arrived only a few days after order.

    Very happy with my little trees, they arrived well packed and in good condition. I'm hoping they will do well in my poorly drained, clay soil.
