The ‘Summer Cascade’ river birch typically grows to a height of 6 to 10 feet (1.8 to 3 meters) with a spread of about 8 to 15 feet (2.4 to 4.6 meters). Its weeping branches create a cascading effect, making it an excellent choice for creating focal points, accentuating water features, or adding vertical interest to smaller gardens.

The combination of its weeping form and attractive bark makes it an eye-catching tree even in winter when the branches are bare.

The foliage of ‘Summer Cascade’ is equally appealing. The leaves are small, triangular, and serrated, with a bright green colour that provides a fresh and vibrant appearance. During autumn, the foliage transitions to shades of yellow, adding to its seasonal interest.
