Golden yellow
The bark of the Silver birch is white to greyish white and slightly peeling. In the spring, it grows hanging fruit catkins, 2-4 cm and in autumn, the leaves turn from a shiny bright green into a beautiful golden yellow colour. The Betula pendula ‘Zwitsers Glorie’ is a birch that is gorgeous all seasons throughout. A fast growing birch that builds a central leader. Upright growing, narrow, with few side branches. Height 10-15 m. Its foliage is triangular to diamond-shaped. This birch hardly sets requirements to its surroundings. Very suitable as an avenue and park tree.
