This handcrafted birch tree in late autumn shows the typical mix of yellow brown remaining foliage and an already more transparent crown. Many branches are clearly visible while the last leaves still cling to the tree. This makes the model ideal for scenes at the end of the garden or railway season, along meadows and forest edges where autumn is almost over. Use the birch as a solitaire, in small groups or along a path to create a moody late autumn atmosphere on your layout.
The silver birch (Betula pendula), which serves as the prototype for this model, is widespread across large parts of Europe (except northern Scandinavia), North America and Asia. It thrives on relatively nutrient-poor soils and is considered an important pioneer species. In nature it usually reaches heights between 15 and 25 metres, occasionally up to 30 metres. Choose the size that matches your modelling scale or follow our recommendation by model railway gauge and you will receive an exclusive model tree that blends harmoniously into your model landscape.
