Silver Birch (Hedging)

Always attractive in a native hedging scheme, the Silver Birch is not one to be overlooked! The delicate stems and twigs of this beautiful tree make for a dense screen in winter when bare, or in summer when they are covered in leaves. Brown catkins will hang down in late spring and early summer too adding extra interest and the silver/white coloured bark is of course what the tree is famous for! Height: 12m (39′). Spread: 8m (26′). Planting Distance: 30cm (12″). (4 plants per metre for a single line hedge).
