Whispering and magical movement from a British native tree Symbolic of renewal and purification, Betula pendula adds a graceful presence to your garden. Its light, open canopy is ideal for underplanting and well suited to grasses, anemones, violets and bluebells, or any plant that thrives in well-drained, dappled shade. Catkin-like flowers are borne from April to May, accompanied by small, triangular shaped, green foliage with a toothed edge which fades to a warm yellow in autumn. Trunks have tissue-like white bark alongside darker, attractive diamond shaped fissures as trees mature. In full leaf, Betula pendula not only adds movement to the garden – it offers gentle, dreamy sound too and makes an ideal, semi-shaded spot for a lounger or bench. Plant in a moist, well-drained soil of any type which benefits from full sun. Allow enough room for your fast-growing tree to mature over 20-50 years and reach up to 25 metres tall with a spread of 10 metres. A fully hardy, deciduous tree
