The effect intensifies with age, taking several years to reach its full glow, and provides genuine winter interest against a dark backdrop. Glossy, oval leaves turn a warm yellow in autumn before falling, and brown catkins add further seasonal interest in spring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eA vigorous, medium to large tree with an open, slender, upright habit, 'Grayswood Hill' makes an excellent specimen for larger gardens or parkland where its striking bark can be appreciated from a distance as well as up close, and it's often grown successfully as a multi-stemmed specimen for even greater impact.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eGrow in full sun or partial shade, in any reasonably fertile, moist but well-drained soil — this variety is genuinely versatile, tolerating chalk, clay, loam and sand. It's fully hardy (RHS H7), copes with both exposed and sheltered sites, and needs only minimal pruning once established.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eEach tree is hand-selected before dispatch, supplied in a 12-litre pot ready for planting straight into its final position.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"PengellyGardenCentre","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58773971337590,"sku":null,"price":86.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0380\/1766\/3020\/files\/Screenshot2026-09-19162046.png?v=1789831287","url":"https:\/\/www.pengellygardencentre.co.uk\/products\/betula-erm-graywood-hill-12ltr-pot","provider":"PengellyGardenCentre","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
