Betula pendula 'Fastigiata' (Upright Silver Birch)

Betula pendula 'Fastigiata', commonly known as the Upright Silver Birch, is a distinctive deciduous tree valued for its narrow, pyramidal growth habit and brilliant white bark. Its fresh green foliage forms a dense, upright canopy through spring and summer before turning vibrant golden yellow in autumn. The elegant white bark and strong vertical form provide year-round architectural interest, making it ideal for avenues, feature planting, and gardens where space is limited.

Hardy, fast-growing, and low maintenance, Upright Silver Birch thrives in full sun to part shade and performs best in fertile, well-drained soil. Its compact footprint makes it an excellent choice for lining driveways, creating formal landscapes, or serving as a striking specimen tree. Combining elegant form, beautiful bark, and outstanding seasonal colour, it is a versatile addition to both residential and commercial landscapes.
