Downy Birch Feathered Trees - Betula Pubescens

Downy Birch (Betula pubescens) is offered here as feathered trees in the sizes and root types shown below.

This is a deciduous plant, losing its leaves seasonally and producing fresh foliage in the next growing season. The bark adds another point of interest alongside the foliage.

Choosing this plant for your space

The feathered form is useful where the outline of the whole tree is part of the design. Consider nearby boundaries and planting, and choose the starting size to suit your layout.

Position and soil

Choose a sunny position. Well-drained soil is suitable, including soil that retains moisture while allowing excess water to drain away.

Choosing your size

The option you select determines the height supplied. Use the listed measurements to plan the quantity and spacing for your scheme before ordering.

Choose a position in full sun or partial shade. Moisture-retentive soil is suitable; do not assume this also means the plant can tolerate prolonged flooding.

Water thoroughly after planting and check soil moisture regularly during establishment, particularly in dry or windy weather. Keep competing weeds clear and avoid piling mulch against stems.

Supplied according to the option you select for this product.

Height: as selected when ordering.
Root Type: Bare Root.

On arrival, carefully remove outer packaging and check the plants against your order. Handle plants by their pot or root ball where possible, rather than pulling on stems or branches.

Check root moisture and water if needed. Until planting, keep the plants upright in a sheltered position and prevent roots from drying out. If supplied bare-root, keep the roots covered and moist and plant promptly when conditions allow.

Larger plants and root balls can be heavy. Arrange suitable help and equipment for safe unloading and positioning.

Delivery arrangements and any charges are those confirmed for your order.
