Description
Betula alba, commonly known as the silver birch, is an elegant, medium-sized deciduous tree with a distinctive white, peeling bark that becomes darker and more rugged at the base as it ages. Its slender, drooping twigs give it a graceful, airy appearance, making it a popular choice for ornamental planting. The ovate leaves, which emerge in spring, are a fresh light green, turning a striking golden yellow in autumn before falling. In early spring, the tree produces catkins, which add to its delicate charm. The multistem form enhances its sculptural beauty, creating a naturalistic, layered effect that works well in parklands and gardens. Thriving in moist, well-drained soils, it is a hardy species that tolerates urban conditions and provides valuable ecological benefits, supporting wildlife and improving air quality
