Its delicate, diamond shaped green leaves turn a lovely golden yellow in autumn, and the tree's airy form casts light, dappled shade that suits both large yards and smaller garden spaces. This cold hardy species is a classic choice for temperate gardens and naturalized settings. \u003cbr\u003e\n European White Birch works beautifully as a specimen tree, in mixed borders, or grouped to form a small grove, where its pale trunks create bright vertical contrast against darker foliage. The fine textured foliage shifts gently in the breeze and provides seasonal color, while the distinctive bark offers winter appeal long after the leaves drop. It pairs well with underplantings of bulbs and low perennials and can also be grown in containers when young. \u003cbr\u003e\n Species: Betula pendula \u003cbr\u003e\n Type: Deciduous tree \u003cbr\u003e\n Plant_Habit: Upright, graceful, weeping branch tips \u003cbr\u003e\n Sun: Full sun to partial shade \u003cbr\u003e\n Soil: Moist, well drained, slightly acidic to neutral \u003cbr\u003e\n Zones: 2 to 7 \u003cbr\u003e\n Germination: Cold stratify 4 to 6 weeks, then surface sow and keep moist \u003cbr\u003e\n Sowing: Surface sow, lightly press into soil, do not bury deeply \u003cbr\u003e\n Spacing: 20 to 30 feet apart \u003cbr\u003e\n Notes: Fast growing in youth; prefers consistent moisture\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67663243018376,"sku":"EXGA-710","price":19.76,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0717\/4648\/6408\/files\/download_7b251421-163b-45ee-ac34-8dac0c6dbb12.png?v=1791896138","url":"https:\/\/www.natesgardensupply.com\/products\/50-seeds-betula-pendula-european-white-birch-deciduous-tree-hardy-shade-tree","provider":"Nate's Garden Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
