Care instructions

Grow in moist but well-drained soil in full sun or light dappled shade. Birches dont need much pruning, but you may want to remove any diseased or crossing branches. It is essential that any pruning work is carried out between late summer to mid winter as the sap will 'bleed' heavily at other times.
