Perfect for smaller spaces, Betula 'Fastigiata Joes' has a neat, narrow pyramidal habit. The small leaves and delicately twisting branches look particularly elegant against the characteristic white bark which usually develops in 3-5 years.
Pretty catkins adorn the tree in spring and in autumn the leaves turn attractive shades of yellow before falling. Shortlisted for the Plant of the Year at Chelsea 2017.

When planting, add some soil conditioner (well-rotted compost) to the planting hole and some mycorrhizal fungi to aid root establishment.
Ensure the top of the plant's compost is flush with the level of the surrounding soil and the collar of the tree is above ground level.
Support taller specimens either with a bamboo cane and or stake during establishment. Water generously around the base of the plant.
Birches need little pruning, but you may want to remove any diseased or crossing branches. It is essential that any pruning work is carried out between late summer to mid winter as the sap will 'bleed' heavily at other times.
