There’s this giant silver birch tree in Belvoir Forest (Belfast) and when I first saw it, I was amazed birch trees could get that big.

Also love silver birch and have one that is over 50 years old in my garden. Enjoy your channel. Thank you and Merry Christmas.

The birch is also the final tree up the tree line .. its one of the last species of trees to be found when ascending a mountain . As it explores new grounds to pioneer... thanks for the wonderful video Joel .. and yeah this video is an epitome of british weather itself.

Thanks for the video - you've convinced me to put 3 Snow Queens in my new build garden, along with a couple of Rowans and some Elder!

[englishtommy]

Good to know! I planted one of these two years ago 😊 Merry Christmas Joel and thanks for the update 👍

[PaulOutdoors]

A really beautiful, versatile and fast growing pioneer/nursery tree Joe with many wildlife and practical benefits... Sugary birch sap and combustible oily bark/twigs to name two 😊. It is one of my favourite wildlife service station trees. As always Joe, thank you for the inspiration that you provide. Paul 👍😊

[bigterrapin]

This channel is fantastic. You are arming wildlife enthusiasts with the knowledge to rewild their gardens! I am trying to persuade my mate to plant a silver birch in his new garden atm and will use this vid!

[monicaclark]

Super info. Thank you. Just readingThe hidden life of trees which is why I googled this!!

[normancoutts]

One of my favourites too - such a lovely light form. I didn't know of the coppicing possibilities. Very helpful, thanks. All the best to you and yours for the year ahead. :-).

[greycatblue]

Thanks for the video Joel. We have 3 silver birch. Long-tailed title love them. I was very interested in all the info you shared. Have a great Christmas🎄

[dogproofwildlifegardening]

Another great video dropping the knowledge 😊 I've already got 3 silver birch whips to plant over the winter 👍

[wildbirdsinthecity]

I like this tree pouteria lucuma too.it has both sweet and fatty fruit.this fruit is edible too.it's very delicious. Welcome to my garden I have some birds too.

[EasyHikes]

I have quite a few of these growing on my property in Canada amongst the spruce and fir trees and you are right in saying they do attract birds as they were quite a few around when we visited there to purchase the lot a couple of years ago. There was also a magnificent Osprey looking for a tasty snack perched on a tree on that day which I managed to film too. Great informative video as always Joel. Have a Merry Christmas in the company of friends and family and a Happy New Year 2022.
