Cutleaf Weeping Birch is a graceful ornamental tree with peeling white bark and fine, lacy dark-green foliage on long, drooping branches. Its rounded, weeping form brings character to a developed yard, with bright yellow fall colour and striking bark for winter interest.
Choose a less exposed site, such as within town or a sheltered, developed yard. This fast-growing tree prefers normal to wet moisture conditions and grows in partial shade or full sun. Deer generally favour other plants, although browsing can still occur.
