With distinctive silver-white bark, a straight trunk, graceful dropping branches and gracing a pointed crown when young silver birches are a tree that is easy to identify. The leaves are alternate and toothed with a flat base hanging from the branch on hairless stalks. The male catkins are purple-brown and open in April along with the green female catkins. Fruiting catkins are present on the tree until winter, they then break up into scales and tiny wind-borne seeds.
