Betula pendula
Family: Betulaceae
Genus: Betula
Species: pendula
Syn: B.verrucosa
Common name: Silver Birch
Betula pendula
This British native is an absolute favourite of ours from its silvery white bark to its delicate drooping canopy.
Silver birch is quick and easy to grow and whilst it does reach a reasonable size we still think it makes a good tree for a small garden as the canopy is light and airy and creates the most wonderful dappled shade.
If you have more space then nothing lifts the spirits like a woodland of birch underplanted with bluebells in the late spring. In autumn the leaves turn a rich yellow and in spring the branches hang with catkins, how much more can you ask for from one plant.
