Why choose a Silver Birch?

Elegant white bark, fine serrated foliage and a light, open canopy make Silver Birch a graceful feature through the seasons. It grows quickly in cool climates, casting dappled shade that allows shrubs and perennials to be grown beneath it.

How can I use it in my garden?

• Plant a specimen in a lawn or courtyard.

• Create a group or avenue for a striking bark display.

• Underplant with hostas, hellebores or bulbs for seasonal layers.

Where does it grow best?

Grow in full sun to part shade in deep, moist, well-drained soil. Silver Birch prefers cooler climates.

What does it look like through the year?

Fresh green spring and summer foliage turns bright golden-yellow in autumn. After leaf fall, its white bark stands out through winter.
