| Birch cultivars |
We graft and grow a huge range of birch at Big Plant Nursery, many of which are very rare and difficut to find.
Birch trees are happy growing in most soils and situations and will tolerate damp situations better than most other trees. They are fast growing trees and are hard to beat for stunning bark coloration, with varying hues of cream and white offset beautifully against the dark green foliage.
We can offer over 20 different cultivars of birch, many rare but all desirable.

All of the cultivars listed below are supplied as 1 year old graft approximately 160-180cm tall; they are young vigorous trees and within 3 years or so will be about the same size as the birch in the above photo. |
