The bark will develop a purple tinge with age. All potted items once received especially during hot weather should as soon as possible have all packaging taken off and placed outside and watered well.  Once planted it will still require a good watering during its first year until established.

An excellent choice for gardens as it grows well on a wide range of soils. Also of interest to tree collectors with dreams of their very own arboretums due to it being one of the rarer cultivars.

PRUNING of the Purple Birch Tree (Betula Purpurea) is advised during late summer or early autumn taking care to prune out any branches that rub together. Minimal Pruning is required, prune out side shoots to create a clear trunk.

See more Birch trees here.

After planting your purple birch, ensure you water especially during the first few years to get the tree established. Keep free of weeds and grass.  Prune only to remove shoots to maintain a clear trunk or any damaged branches which should be done in late summer or early autumn.
