SILVER or EUROPEAN BIRCH

Betula pendula

A native of Europe and Asia Minor, where it likes cool, deep, well drained soils in an open, sunny position. It is frost resistant but dislikes drought.

A deciduous, medium tree, it grows to a height of 25 metres with a spread of 5 metres.

The stem is erect and stout with a silvery-white bark; the leaves are simple and rhomboidal with serrate margins; the flowers are yellowish white, unisexual catkins, the male being pendant and the female erect.

Medicinally, the sap, which has a high sugar content, is collected in spring and is said to stimulate the scalp and hair growth. The leaves are used to treat cystitus and are collected in spring, dried in the shade, steeped in boiling water, stood for 12 hours, reheated and drunk.

Offered is a packet of 30 seeds and Grownotes to assist you to cultivate this striking tree.

All my seed is posted in bubble wrap protection.
