Hello,

my OH has cut some silver birch branches in the garden and I know that birch is ok to give to buns but is silver birch? It seems like a waste to chop it up for the brown bin :?
Thanks :wave:
 
hhmmmm not sure about birch but I think the only trees you can give fresh are fruit (except plum and cherry) so even if you were to give it to the buns, you would have to put it to one side for a year.
 
My list of safe twigs is:

Apple
Birch - doesn't specify silver
Blackberry
Hazel
Hawthorn
Maple
Pear
Raspberry
Willow
