Birch is a genus of deciduous trees and shrubs in the family Betulaceae. Its relatives include hazel, alder, and hornbeam. Commonly known as brezuša, brizovina, briza, or metlika, the genus name comes from the Gaulish word "betu," meaning "bitumen"; according to Pliny the Elder, the Gauls obtained bitumen from this plant. Birch also possesses medicinal properties: it is effective for skin conditions, helps remove kidney stones, reduces cholesterol, purifies the blood, treats colds and flu, and supports liver health. The wood is easy to work with but of modest quality, used for veneer, affordable furniture, and doors. Young leaves and buds are edible, as are catkins, seeds, and the inner bark. Birch twigs are traditionally used to make brooms.

You can purchase seedlings of Birch – Betula Tree at our garden center in the nursery located at Gornjem Crnjelovu, Glavna 65a.
Upon collection of the goods (seedlings), the Agromedžik nursery no longer has the possibility of supervision or care, and therefore cannot provide any further guarantee. Since seedlings are living beings, it is not possible to give a guarantee even a day after they leave the nursery. We cannot influence their maintenance and care, and consequently their further growth and development.
Our plants regularly undergo phytosanitary and vegetative inspections, therefore we do not have diseased or infected plants.
Planting is done from late October to mid-April, avoiding periods of frost and drought.
Trim the roots, then the branches into 3 to 4 rings. At the beginning of March, cut the seedlings to a height of 80 - 120 cm.
Before planting, soak the plant in water for at least 2 - 3 hours.
Dig a hole, in the previously prepared soil, measuring 60 x 60 x 50 cm for the soil (40 x 40 x 40 cm) so that the roots and part of the stem are well placed, taking care that the grafting point is outside the soil.
Place the plant in the hole and cover it with dry soil, gently press it down so that it gets well between the roots.
Fertilizer and seedling roots must not be in direct contact.
Pour with 20-30 liters of water. During periods of drought in the first year of planting, it is necessary to water young seedlings more often.
Containerized seedlings can be planted throughout the year.
*Applies to bare root seedlings.
