About European White, Birch Seed

Small, toothed green leaves flutter in the lightest breeze on European White Birch, a graceful shade tree loved for its bright white bark and slender, gently drooping branches. In fall the foliage of Betula pendula turns a clear yellow, giving it four-season appeal in lawns, groupings and naturalistic plantings. It grows at a moderate pace and handles cold winters with ease, so its pale trunks can brighten the landscape year after year.
