How about a tree called 'Lady of the Woods' or Betula pendula 'youngii' . This is Youngs weeping birch and it is an elegant weeping tree that looks enchanting as the long weeping branches hang down and move in the breeze. We use this mainly as a 'stand alone' specimen although we have seen them planted in a line and must admit they looked very graceful. Look for a strong main trunk. Try planting this in the middle of a grassy lawn, or maybe in the garden border. The branches will eventaully rach right down to the ground, so nothing much will grow under these. They will reach around 6-8m depnding on conditions. Attractive white bark in winter are another feature. |

Growing Conditions are CareA humus rich moist soil and a position with some protection from hot winds or coastal winds will be ideal. These trees require little care once established. Water in well and provide adequate water until the tree is established. May require staking when young. |
