Betula pendula 'Tristis' is a tall, graceful tree with pendulous twisting shoots at the end of the weeping branches. The white bark, as with many birch, develops characteristic black fissures with age. The catkins appear during the spring amongst the slightly serrated foliage which turns creamy yellow in the autumn. A special tree for its unusual weeping appearance!

Packaging
We have developed an eco friendly polypot that is currently in use across our 9 litre range. This polypot has less than 20% of the plastic used by a regular pot, and is importantly recyclable. Polypots also prevent root spiraling, encouraging a healthier root system.
All trees arrive in an extra thick cardboard box with a clamp to hold their pot in place. This prevents them from moving around on their journey.
Nursery staff will wrap the roots of our bare root trees and use compost to keep them moist during transportation. This extra protection prevents them from drying out, allowing for a flying start. We also use the same specialised box that our potted trees have to keep them nice and secure as they make their way to your home.
