Betula pendula 

Betula pendula 

The popular Silver Birch is commonly planted in residential gardens around temperate Australia for its white trunk and fresh green foliage. Good when planted in odd numbered groups to create an attractive copse in parks and larger gardens. Silver Birch are seedling grown and therefore usually highly variable in habit. Not recommended for plantings where unformity is desired.
