Young’s Weeping Birch is a graceful, compact ornamental tree known for its elegant weeping branches and delicate foliage. A cultivar of the European White Birch, this tree typically grows to about 10 to 15 feet tall and wide, depending on how it's trained and pruned. Its arching, pendulous branches create a cascading dome-like form, giving it a soft, fountain-like appearance that makes it a standout focal point in gardens and landscapes. The finely serrated, light green leaves flutter in the breeze throughout the growing season and turn a warm yellow in fall, adding seasonal interest.
This deciduous tree thrives in full sun and prefers moist, well-drained soil. While it’s relatively low-maintenance once established, it benefits from regular watering during dry periods and occasional pruning to shape its weeping form. The bark is smooth and pale, often developing attractive white and silver tones with age. Young’s Weeping Birch is ideal for small yards, entryways, or near patios where its graceful silhouette can be appreciated up close. Its unique form, combined with its manageable size and gentle movement in the wind, makes it a beloved choice for adding charm and elegance to the landscape.
