Betula Pendula Tristis is a tall and graceful tree with pendulous branches that are heavily weeping and twisted at the tips supporting a cloth of blue/green leaves. Catkins appear in the spring and the slightly serrated foliage turns creamy yellow in the autumn.

This elegantly shaped birch tree casts a dappled shade and looks particularly attractive in the winter when its majestic form is fully revealed by bare branches. The beautiful, silvery smooth white bark provides year round interest and is a canvas to contrasting dark cracks and fissures that develop with age.
Tristis is suited to most soil types and a 20 year height and spread of 7 x 4 metres can be expected.
