PLANT PROFILE
Betula pendula ‘Fastigiata’, commonly known as the Upright Silver Birch, is a striking deciduous tree admired for its white papery bark and refined, columnar habit. The narrow, upright form makes it ideal for smaller gardens or formal avenues where space is limited. The fine, serrated green leaves create a light, airy canopy that turns golden yellow in autumn before falling to reveal the tree’s elegant white trunk. Mature trees typically grow 8–12 metres tall and 3–4 metres wide, forming a vertical accent in the landscape.
This hardy and adaptable birch thrives in full sun and moist, well-drained soils. Betula pendula ‘Fastigiata’ is frost tolerant, drought hardy once established, and performs well in both cool and temperate climates. Its elegant form, subtle movement, and seasonal beauty make it an excellent choice for structured landscapes, courtyards, and avenue planting.
They look excellent as feature trees, planted in groups, or as tall, narrow accents framing driveways or garden borders. The combination of brilliant bark, graceful foliage, and upright form ensures this variety provides year-round interest and architectural presence.
