Weeping Birch

What: Weeping Birch (Betula pendula) is a graceful ornamental tree renowned for its pendulous, cascading branches and striking silvery-white bark. Native to Europe and Asia, this species provides year-round interest with its elegant form and performs beautifully in sheltered prairie sites with adequate moisture.

Best use: Perfect as a dramatic focal point or specimen tree in the landscape. Plant it near water features, as a garden centerpiece, or at the edge of a border for maximum visual impact. It also makes an excellent companion to water features where its reflection enhances its beauty.
