Product Code:  BEPU4

From Only: £11.15 Ex VAT
Or £2.79 Per Plant


This RHS 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.

Complete Product Information for Downy Birch (Betula Pubescens) Pack of 4 Cell Grown 20-50cms
This RHS Premium Cell Grown Downy Birch (Betula Pubescens) hedge comes with the benefits of container grown plants but the price is nearer the bare root price. The plants come with their root systems intact, whereas bare root plants can lose the tiny fine feeding roots and root hairs when they are lifted. This means that they will become more established quicker than bare root. They can also be planted into warm soils when roots are active, outside the dormant period. Whereas the bare root season ends between April to September, September, October, March April and May are ideal months for planting cell grown plants. In fact, unlike bare root, you can plant cell grown plants throughout the year as long as the roots are kept moist. That is why 60% of the world’s forestry trees are now cell grown!
