A tall upright silver birch with pendulous weeping shoots which cascade down from its branches.
In autumn the serrated leaves turn yellow.
The bark is white, and becomes fissured as the tree ages.
Order now for delivery from week commencing 18th November for pot grown trees or December for bare-root or mixed tree orders.
Like most silver birches Tristis is not fussy the planting situation - any sunny or lightly-shaded location will do. It is similarly versatile with respect to soil conditions, except it will not tolerate waterlogging.
Illustrative example of a pot-grown tree of this variety as supplied. Approximate girth: 6/8cm. We try to keep all pot-grown trees down to about 1.5m as supplied, but some may be larger. Trees should reach their mature height after about 10 or more years.
