Cesky Gold Dwarf Birch
What: Shrub Birch (Betula x plettkei) is a compact dwarf birch native to Arctic regions, offering exceptional cold hardiness and a naturally tidy, mounded form. Its small rounded leaves emerge fresh green in spring and develop warm golden-yellow autumn tones before dropping.
Best use: Perfect for small gardens, naturalized areas, and mixed shrub borders on the Canadian prairies. Its fine-textured, densely branched structure adds elegance to landscapes, while its ability to thrive in moist to boggy conditions makes it valuable for areas with imperfect drainage.
