Add Elegance to Your Landscape with a Weeping White Birch Tree
The Weeping White Birch Tree (Betula pendula) is a stunning addition to any garden or landscape. Known for its ornamental appeal, this medium-sized tree features striking white bark that exfoliates in papery strips, creating year-round visual interest. Its glossy green leaves provide a lush canopy, turning a beautiful yellow in the fall, adding seasonal color. The graceful, drooping branches give the tree its signature weeping form, making it a focal point in any setting.
This tree typically grows to a height of 30 to 40 feet, forming a pyramidal to oval rounded crown. In early spring, it produces tiny monoecious flowers in separate catkins, with yellowish-brown male flowers and greenish female flowers. These are followed by drooping cone-like fruits containing numerous small winged seeds that mature in late summer. The Weeping White Birch is not only visually appealing but also provides habitat and food for local wildlife.
The Betula pendula is relatively easy to care for, making it a popular choice for both novice and experienced gardeners. It thrives in growing zones 3-9 and prefers full to partial sun exposure. While it adapts to various soil types, well-drained soil is essential for optimal growth. Avoid planting in pots as this voids any warranty, our trees are field grown and should be planted directly into the ground.
