If you want to add motion and romance to your garden, this is the perfect tree.As they mature the pendulous branched begin to droop giving a ‘weeping’ effect.Then, at the slightest breeze, the branches dance and sway animating the entire landscape. It makes you want to grab a blanket, a good book and a picnic basket and sit for a while. Champagne and straw boaters hat completely optional. Even though birch trees are native to North America, weeping birch is native to Europe and New Zealand. We don’t know why this makes them seem even more romantic, but it does.
