Betula pendula is a native graceful, fast-growing deciduous tree known for its striking white bark and delicate, pendulous branches. The triangular leaves emerge fresh green in spring and turn yellow in autumn, adding seasonal interest. Its light canopy allows dappled sunlight beneath, making it suitable for mixed planting schemes. It thrives in well-drained soils and is a popular choice for both formal and naturalistic landscapes.
Average mature height: 15–20 m | Canopy spread: 6–8 m
