Betula pendula 'Prostrate', also known as Prostrate European White Birch, is a low-growing variant of the Silver Birch boasting gracefully arched branches in a cascading pattern. Its natural propensity to spread makes it ideal as ground cover or a beautiful feature to drape over walls. The golden brown bark on twigs and young branches matures to a silvery white, embellished with black clefts. This graceful tree offers glossy green, toothed leaves that turn a warm yellow in fall and shed for winter. During spring, drooping catkins display tiny, yellowish-brown male flowers, as the upright catkins present the greenish female flowers. These female flowers eventually give way to drooping cone-like fruits filled with numerous winged seeds. Our Prostrate European White Birch is well-suited to a range of soils, though it thrives best in consistently moist ones. A lover of full sun or part shade, this attractive birch tree fits perfectly into cottage gardens or foundation plantings and can reach up to 30-40 ft. tall and 15-30 ft. wide, making it an admirable addition to your landscape through all seasons. Expand your landscape's visual interest with our easy-to-grow, cool climate-friendly plant.
