This slender deciduous tree is famed for its weeping soft habit and papery peeling bark. Its white bark is punctuated with attractive black fissures that feel rough to the touch. Silver Birch is an excellent tree to feature in a group planting or as a striking specimen tree. It provides a pleasing focal point with an underplanting of bulbs. The elegant branches are slightly weeping in habit with light green leaves which turn yellow in autumn.
