Genetic evidence that one of Britain's native tree species, the dwarf birch found in the Scottish Highlands, was once common in England has been found by researchers. The genes reflect a much wider ...

Whether you have a small yard or even just a petite patio space, it's possible to still grow trees to add depth, color, and interest. Love the look of stately birch and magnolia trees, but don't have ...

Seeds have been collected from dwarf birch trees near Loch Ness as part of the UK National Tree Seed Project. They will be stored in the underground vaults of the Royal Botanic Gardens Kew's ...

Scientists have sequenced the genetic code of a birch tree for the first time, which could help protect birch populations. Scientists from Queen Mary, University of London have sequenced the genetic ...

Lost mountain woodlands in the Scottish Highlands will return if deer densities are reduced, according to new University of ...

cientists from Queen Mary, University of London have sequenced the genetic code of a birch tree for the first time, which could help protect British birch populations. The genome, which is around 450 ...

A hypothesis that the female catkin and leaves on the same dwarf shoot of birch compete for the same limited resources of the bud during their development has been tested with Betula pendula. In all ...

Genes from dwarf birch were found in birch tree populations across Britain, which reflects a much wider distribution occupied by the “wee tree” when the British climate was colder. “We seem to have ...
