Initial queries and communication with Caitriona via WhatsApp was swift and professional, answering all questions and providing images/videos on request. They had the stock we needed and were willing to install as soon as they could. Delivered and planted Portuguese Laurel hedging at our home today. Quality of product looks excellent, planting very neat, and our driveway was left as clean as they found it. Niall and his colleague also helped treat existing damaged box plants in our driveway. After they left, they also provided advice/feedback via WhatsApp on caring for all the hedging in coming weeks. Excellent service from start to finish. Would absolutely recommend Cullen Nurseries.

Excellent advice, communication and service, and most importantly, excellent follow-up service. I bought 12 large root ball deciduous trees from Caitriona last year. Some of them unfortunately died and this year she replaced them at a very good discounted price.

Recently purchased some hedging to create a windbreak on a terrace/patio from Cullen Nurseries. I can't recommend them enough. From the advice and guidance that Caitriona provided to the quality of the shrubs, everything was top class. I'll definitely be back for more!

Description

Features of the Silver Birch tree

Silver Birch trees are tall columnar deciduous trees with a silver-white bark and light green triangular-shaped drooping leaves with a toothed edge. The Leaves fade to yellow in Autumn. Although the leaves fall off in the Autumn months, they still retain a lot of foliage due to their feathery nature. This coverage makes them an ideal tress for boundary screening or for planting through hedges such as Green Beech hedges to add volume and impact in Winter months. They can grow up to 5 meters in height.

They differ from Jacquemontii trees in that the bark turns more silver as the tree matures but the bark of the Jacquemontii tree is a papery white bark.

The silver birch tree produces Flowers called catkins that are visible in April and May. They are an ideal tree to encourage wildlife into the garden, their feathery branches provide a valuable food source for birds in the form of insects and aphids. Their feathery nature also provides shelter, camouflage, and security for small birds safe from prey.

They are very adaptable and are also tolerant of variances in temperature. They are fast-growing trees, another feature that makes them ideal as a garden or boundary tree.

Silver birch trees are Ideal for all soil types and are typically sold as bare-root plants and planted in the Winter months from November to April. They are hardy in cold weather and will grow well in full sun or partial shade. We grow Silver birch here in our Native Nursery in a range of sizes from 5/6ft trees through to Silver Birch 10/12ft as a bare root tree. They are also available as a Mature Silver Birch Tree in a wire root ball from 14ft tall.

Soil: Any well drained soil.
Status: Hardy in cold weather.
Position: Full sun, partial shade.
Flowering: Catkins in Spring
