- Among the most iconic native trees, the silver birch makes an impact in any garden with its elegant silver-white bark and gracefully weeping branches.
- The silver bark sheds its layers like paper over time, developing contrasting dark fissures and cracks with age that make each tree wholly unique.
- Silver birch trees support over 300 insect species as well as moths and many diverse fungi. Hole-nesting birds such as woodpeckers make their homes in the trunk.
- Bright green, serrated leaves form a light, airy canopy which allows for underplanting, before turning a glowing golden yellow when autumn rolls around.
- Yellow and green catkins appear in April and May, hanging in clusters like lambs' tails. Their seeds are enjoyed by birds including siskins, greenfinches and redpolls.
- Silver birch improves your soil; it spreads its roots wide, bringing otherwise inaccessible nutrients into the tree. These are then transferred into the soil by falling leaves.
- In Celtic folklore, silver birch symbolised renewal and bundles of its twigs were used to drive out the spirits of the old year!
- Our potted trees are supplied in EcoPots™. Eco pots use 70% less plastic and are fully recyclable, unlike normal single use pots. They flex and so produce less root spiralling and travel better in the post.
- Our trees are usually between 18 and 36 months old at the time of dispatch.
- Our trees are professionally pruned before dispatching.
- Our mature trees are grown in Air-Pots®, the only type of pot to completely eliminate root circling. A unique design stimulates air pruning for a mass of healthy fibrous roots, which results in a healthy tree that will establish quickly in your garden. With each Air-Pot® made to last up to 20 years, we reuse them on the nursery and wrap your mature tree in hessian for delivery - but if you’d rather keep your tree potted, simply add an Air-Pot® to your basket along with your tree.
