The Betula Pendula is a very popular landscape tree which is grown for its weeping habit and graceful form. The foliage can range from a rich green to dark red or reddish-green. The bark on the trunk is white marked with black and it makes a dramatic display against a dark evergreen background. All birches are prone to aphids, bronze birch borers and birch leaf-miners. They are not drought-tolerant and will perform best with a regular watering and feeding. The glossy leaves are about 6cms long with a diamond shaped and a tapered point, that will turn yellow in the autumn.

Benefits
• The Betula Pendula is a deciduous plant
• Long narrow catkins in spring
• Bark orange-red on young stems, soon changing to silver with distinctive black 'arrows'
• Leaves turn yellow in autumn
• Ultimate Height - 25ft (8m)
• Average Growth/Year*- 1.5ft per year
*Average Growth/Year= Average growth per year in first 10-20 years
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.
