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. The Downy Birch has a distinctive brownish grey bark that turns grey white as the tree ages however rather than splintering and splitting as it grows older it remains smooth right down to the base of the tree. Its upright branches produce broad blunt tipped triangular shaped leaves initially green before turning a shade of golden yellow. This deciduous tree displays wild wind pollinated catkins grey in winter and yellow in spring. The Downy Birch gets its name from the downy hairs found on the leaf stalks and shoots. This Birch is a hardy specimen that grows abundantly in poor or wet soils preferably acidic.

Benefits
As a very rough guide, 1cm of girth, measured 1m above the ground, generally equals 1ft in height until the tree is 20ft high. Please note that this varies by individual tree and by every tree type.
