Betula pendula ‘Fastigiata’ is a narrow, columnar form of the silver birch, valued for its elegant vertical habit and refined appearance. Unlike the typical spreading form of birch trees, this cultivar grows with an upright, almost pillar-like shape, making it especially suitable for smaller gardens or formal planting schemes. It typically reaches heights of 8–12 meters while maintaining a relatively slim profile. Its bark is bright white and smooth when mature, contrasting beautifully with the fine, dark branches. The foliage consists of small, triangular, bright green leaves that flutter delicately in the wind and turn yellow in autumn before falling.
