Betula (Birch) [36] Fully hardy deciduous trees and shrubs which develop attractive bark for all-year-round-interest. Appreciate a sunny position in good moist but well-drained loamy soil. The mid-green foliage usually takes on yellow tints for the autumn.
B.pendula 'Youngii' (Young's weeping birch) [353] Forms a lovely dome-shaped tree with thread-like branches making it an ideal subject for a lawn. In time the bark becomes white and is fissured black as the tree matures.
