Enjoy a stunning statement tree with resilience and beauty
The Magical® Globe Birch Tree is a true standout in any landscape, merging stunning design with exceptional resilience. Its top-grafted structure onto river birch significantly enhances its resistance to the invasive bronze birch borer, ensuring that your tree thrives year-round. Moreover, this unique grafting results in a beautifully uniform match of trunk and branch bark color, which remains a rich, dark hue for most of the year, providing visual interest even in winter.
Visitors to your yard will be captivated by the graceful, rounded silhouette of this tree. Slightly taller than wide at 10 years old, it offers a lovely focal point while effortlessly blending into various garden styles. Planted strategically, it can draw attention to a specific area or serve as a backdrop for other colorful plants, making your outdoor space more inviting.
Planting & Care
1. Planting: Plant or repot within 4 weeks of arrival. If you receive a tree form, remove the stake and ties at planting, as these are only for shipping. Choose a well-draining location that receives full to partial sunlight for the best growth. Dig a hole that is twice as wide and as deep as the root ball. Place the tree in the hole, backfill with soil, and spread a 3” layer of mulch three feet around the tree. Water thoroughly.
2. Watering: Water regularly during the first year to establish a strong root system. Once established, it’s relatively drought-tolerant; however, occasional deep watering during dry spells will keep it healthy and vibrant.
3. Pruning: To maintain an attractive shape, prune in late winter or early spring while the tree is still dormant. Remove any dead or crossing branches to promote good airflow and healthy growth.
4. Fertilizing: A balanced slow-release fertilizer can be applied in early spring to boost growth. Ensure the soil pH is slightly acidic to neutral, and monitor the plant’s health to adjust feeding as needed.
