🌳 Order Downy Birch saplings (Betula pubescens) online – a hardy native tree perfect for gardens, woodland planting or rewilding projects.
The Downy Birch is a graceful, medium-sized native tree commonly found across the UK, especially in wetter regions like Scotland. With upright branches and slightly browner bark than the Silver Birch, it offers a natural woodland look with plenty of character. Historically, birch twigs were bundled together to sweep out bad spirits at the end of the year – giving this tree a long-standing link with renewal and resilience.
Fast-growing and ideal for damp ground or exposed areas, the Downy Birch can reach around 10ft in just seven years, making it a great choice for creating shelter or attracting wildlife. Its light canopy allows sunlight through, encouraging biodiversity underneath.
Our healthy Downy Birch saplings are approximately 30–50cm tall and ready to plant all year round.
Key Features:
Grows well in wet, dry, and upland locations
Attractive medium sized tree
Thrives in most damp or heavy soils
Excellent for gardens and mixed native woodland
Fast-growing tree, reaching 10ft in around 7 years

Nice little trees, strong and healthy.
As they are baby trees, I expect them to outlast me so my experience is limited!
I plan to put them in part of my ‘wild garden’ to encourage shade plants below, give shelter to the house and help wildlife.
They were packaged simply, without waste, arrived promptly. No probs. Thank you. Happy to recommend.
