Betula pendula Alba is a popular variety of the Silver Birch tree due to its striking leaf colours and lovely form. It grows with an upright habit and carries dark green leaves held on semi-weeping branches. As the leaves fall the white-silver trunk becomes the dominant point of interest as it grows to 20 m tall and 8 m wide. Betula pendula Alba is often used in avenue plantings, grown as a specimen in parks and large gardens, planted to provide wind protection, or used to add contrast to other plant colours and forms.
