BETULA nigra 'Heritage' This American selection of the river birch has become the standard against which all others are measured. Dramatic pinkish brown peeling bark reveals glossy white stems. Vigorous and eminently suitable for damp sites. These are grown on their own roots, not grafted. Open-ground Specimens Only this season - please ask for details of size and price
	BETULA nigra 'Little King'  A real gem! This selection becomes a multi-stemmed bushy shrub rather than a tree. So masses of shaggy peeling bark right where you can see it! Brilliant in the winter garden, the woodland, or really anywhere. Grown from cuttings so the bark can be appreciated right down to the ground.  Sold out
	BETULA nigra 'Peter Collinson' B. nigra was introduced from its waterside habitat of eastern North America by Peter Collinson, who received material from John Bartram in the early 18th Century. This selection was collected in Canada by French plantsman Aurélien Hemono (to whom I am indebted for his generosity) and named in honour of the original introducer. I am told that it is even better than ‘Heritage’, so I’m really looking forward to seeing this one develop. Open-ground Specimens Only this season - please ask for details of size and price
	BETULA papyrifera var. cordifolia 'Clarenville' Selected from wild collected seed in the Clarenville area of Newfoundland, this is quite different to the usual paper birch. In fact it more closely resembles B. ermanii in the way the pale golden-orange bark peels. This is a sturdy tree, with thickly textured hear-shaped leaves, each apparently stamped with deep veins. Open-ground Specimens Only this season - please ask for details of size and price
	BETULA papyrifera 'St George'  The "Paper Birch" - a large tree with characteristic papery bark and yellow autumn colour. On this vigorous selection, orange-brown bark peels to reveal a white underlayer. From £35.00 Open-ground Specimens also available - please ask for details of size and price
	BETULA papyrifera 'Vancouver' This is the most vigorous Birch we grow. If you are in dire need of a biggish tree quickly then this is the one for you! Wonderful yellow autumn colour late in the season makes autumn last long into winter. Ours has made 6m in less than 10 years and was still a vision in yellow when everything else was bare. Open-ground Specimens Only this season - please ask for details of size and price
	BETULA pendula 'Bangor' This is a vigorous upright tree, but is unusual with its graceful cut leaves. From £35.00
	BETULA pendula 'Dark Prince' These purple foliaged Birches are so pretty because there is such lovely contrast between the rich dark foliage and the whitening bark. This one has a more pendulous habit than 'Royal Frost' our other purple offering. From £35.00
	BETULA pendula 'Silver Grace' "Silver Grace" totally epitomises the characteristics of our native lady of the woods and this selection captures the true beauty of those features. Tall, elegant with light and airy foliage gently cascading from silver bark...what more could you want! Open-ground Specimens Only this season - please ask for details of size and price
	BETULA 'Polar Bear' A lovely easy to grow, strong, sturdy tree displaying wonderful pure white branches and trunk. This one came to us named as a cultivar of B. ermanii, but to be honest, I have my doubts! It is much too white - definitely B. utilis territory. It is likely therefore that it is a hybrid. However, one characteristic that puts this one right up there as (possibly!) my favourite white birch is the overall habit. The limbs have a more graceful, slightly laxer appearance, almost drooping at the tips in the manner of our native B. pendula. For me, this contrasts with the more rigid, upright habit typical of B. utilis selections. This season I also have some multi-stemmed plants. We have potted 3 seedlings from this selection into a large pot and grown them on to give the feel of a single multi-stemmed tree, without any structural problems. These have the potential to be spectacular. Please ask for details. From £35.00 Open-ground Specimens Only this season - please ask for details of size and price
	BETULA 'Royal Frost'  (B.populifolia 'Whitespire' x B. 'Crimson Frost') This fabulous American introduction gives a wonderful contrast in any Betula glade, having as it does rich burgundy coloured leaves all summer. Attractive yellow-orange to red autumn colour. Sold out
	BETULA szechuanica 'Liuba White'  Another excellent collection by Roy Lancaster. The name may be a bit of a mouthful, but the tree is gorgeous. Vigorous form with almost blue-green leaves and brilliant white bark. From £35.00 Open-ground Specimens Only this season - please ask for details of size and price
