Silver Birch (Betula pendula) 60-80cm Bare Root—a fast-growing, wildlife-friendly deciduous tree ideal for small UK gardens. Native to the UK and Europe, it features distinctive white bark, graceful pendulous branches, and supports local biodiversity.

Common Questions

  • Is it suitable for small gardens? Yes, typically reaches 15–25m but can be managed with pruning.
  • Which is better: bare root or potted? Bare root offers quicker establishment if planted promptly.
  • How fast does it grow? Up to 40cm/year in early years.
  • Does it help wildlife? Yes, valuable for bees, caterpillars, and birds feeding on catkins and insects.
  • Maintenance? Low—occasional pruning; water in dry spells during establishment.

Common questions

Bare root plants are field-grown and lifted dormant — the cheapest way to plant a hedge. Pot grown plants have an established root system and can be planted year-round. Root ball plants are mature field-grown plants lifted with a soil ball for instant height.
Pot grown plants can go in the ground at any time of year. Bare root is supplied dormant from November to March, and root ball plants are lifted in that same window.
3 plants per metre for a standard single-row hedge, or 5 per metre (staggered double row) for a dense screen.
