Tristis is a more weeping variety of Silver Birch (Betula pendula). This tree is distinguished by its tall narrow stature, with pendulous twisting branches. Its white bark has balck fissures with age. Leaves are triangular to diamond shaped, bright green which turn yellow in autumn. It carries attractive greenish catkins. Expect a final height of 6 m or 20 ft. The height you get depends on what type of garden you have. Imperial gardens grow trees in feet and metric gardens grow them in metres! Our Tristis Silver Birch Tree is supplied at a height of between 1.5 and 1.8 metres in a 12 L container, which means that the tree can be planted any time of the year and with better results than either bare-root or rootballed trees. As with most weeping trees, you can determine final height by allowing the tree to grow to the height you require and then cut the main trunk/stem. If you are going to restrict growth by keeping it in the pot and then planting it, you need to remember to feed every year. The larger the pot, the larger the tree will grow. Message card included at no additional cost if required. Just add the information required on the card at checkout.
All ornamental trees (not vines) are topped at 1.3 metres to encourage a natural ornamental tree shape with obvious exceptions e.g. patio sizes.This means that your tree was pruned during the growing process and then allowed to grow to the size it is now supplied at. Multiple Order Discount
