Betula pendula 'Youngii': 'Youngii' European Birch

Young's weeping European birch is graceful, weeping ornamental with wonderful yellow fall color but is susceptible to fatal attacks of bronze birch borer. The leaves are often browned by birch leaf miner. When grown, plan to provide the necessary insect control and provide the necessary cultural conditions for best growth. It grows moderately with a variable height, depending on how it was trained. Some specimens appear sloppy, others more tailored. Lawn grasses grow fairly well in its light shade.
