Its trunk is what I would call, typical silver birch, with whitish,
thin paper like bark which splits and peels in horizontal bands.
It is at least 15 years old.
It is five feet high, with a large flat top like a table.
In profile it can only be described as a 'capital T' with thin
trailing branches which hang down to the ground.
It has small serrated deltoid leaves. It carries small catkins in
spring.
It shows no sign of having a grafted top.
Does this describe a particular Betula pendula variety?
.... And if so, ........ which?

Young's Weeping Birch? B. pendula 'Youngii' iirc.

Thanks Rod.
I did a Google on that and came up with, I think it was 11 pictures,
and I have to say none were quite as table topped as mine. But, yours
is the best offer I've had so far. ;-)
Thanks for your response.
