You can, but it's not really worth it. Trees don't cost much
if you buy them small, which is better anyway. What sort of a
tree do you want - we can almost certainly recommend some that
grow from seed.

Not really. They don't respond well to that, and it ruins
their shape.
| How old would they be before producing all the seeds ?
Perhaps a decade, perhaps less - and it builds up from then on.

That's fine, but one must temper that with realism. Birches
are nice trees, but are not rare or slow-growing in the UK!
