Default dont know if i should get a weeping birch

i was wondering if the weeping birch tree is a good tree to buy i like it, but because of its susceptibility to diseases and birch borer and because i already have others birches and so do other people where i live and i dont know if it will attract birch borers and kill other birch trees. i was thinking of just buying it to see what happens but idk if it will bring birch borers and i was wondering if bringing a highly susceptible birch will infect the others.

Buy only native birch - they are resistant to the native insects.
