Betula pendula 'Moss White' is a variation of the famous Silver Birch tree, known for its radiant white bark and elegant, drooping branches. The tree's fine, bright green foliage takes on a luminous pale yellow hue in autumn, creating a lovely softness to the tree. To showcase the stately white trunks and branching structure, consider planting it in groups or avenues. When pruning, it's important to do it in summer or autumn, and avoid pruning in winter or spring to prevent profuse 'bleeding'.
Soil: This tree thrives in moist, well-drained soil. Keep in mind that birches have shallow roots, so make sure to provide adequate watering during summer.
Conditions: The tree prefers to be planted in areas with sun to part-shade. It can tolerate short periods of wet and dry, and can withstand frost and coastal environments. However, it's important to protect it from hot winds.
Size: Height 10-11m x width 6m
