betula nana

An interesting Dwarf Birch which isn't seen very often but makes a wonderful specimen shrub for woodland gardens and borders. Betula nana creates a compact shrub with its low spreading habit and rigid stems. Throughout the spring the catkins nestle amongst the luscious red-brown foliage. As autumn approaches the foliage changes to autumnal shades of red and golden yellow. A tough Arctic Birch which is ideal for shallow soils. Height: 60cm (24). Spread: 120cm (48).

Betula nana is a deciduous dwarf shrub native to the Arctic regions of the world so well able to withstand cold and windy weather! Growing to a maximum height of 60cm (24), the Dwarf Birch has a low spreading habit and produces small, toothed green leaves which take on lovely shades of gold and burnt red in autumn. Having naturally adapted to the poor soils of the tundra, Arctic Birch is the perfect choice for a groundcover plant to cover steep banks, beneath tree and shrubs or planted in rock
