The 'Summer Cascade' is a delightful variety of birch which offers year round interest. The pendulous branches hold dark green leaves in spring and summer and the leaves turn to a vivid yellow colour come autumn. The pink peeling bark adds interest in winter and the arching branches look wonderful when topped with snow. This is the perfect choice for a feature tree that adds interest all year round.
