Betula Pendula Spider Alley – Contorted Birch Tree – Circa 120-150cm

Betula pendula ‘Spider Alley’, commonly known as the Contorted Birch, is a unique ornamental tree celebrated for its twisted branches and luminous white bark. Even when bare in winter, its sculptural form creates strong architectural interest, while fresh green foliage in spring and summer softens its silhouette before turning warm yellow in autumn, adding seasonal drama to the garden.
This hardy birch thrives in full sun to light shade and prefers moist but well-drained soil; it requires minimal maintenance beyond removing any dead or crossing branches in late summer or early autumn. ‘Spider Alley’ pairs beautifully with shade-tolerant underplanting such as Helleborus, Heuchera, or spring bulbs like Narcissus, which highlight the tree’s pale trunk and enhance its elegant, naturalistic character.
Fantastic and Fascinating, just two very apt words to describe this hard-to-come-by cultivar of contorted willow – worthy of any home arboretum! Supplied in approx. 3 litre containers.
