Betula 'Crimson Frost'

This is a hybrid of B. platyphylla var. szechuanica x B. pendula 'Purpurea'. A fine tree with burgundy foliage all summer, intensifying to a ruby Port in autumn. The tree is broadly pyramidal to oval and will grow 40' in height. Imagine the deep foliage against the white of the bark. . . . Outstanding! (Hint: Be sure to plant with a backdrop that shows off the burgundy; after all, that's why you bought it!)

This exceptional 30-35' birch provides consistent burgundy leaf color all season, accented against exfoliating white-tinted-cinnamon bark... a lovely combo; leaf-miner resistant, ; adaptable to heavy or alkaline soil. Sun/Med-Wet

Purple leaves all summer and exfoliating whitish bark make this a winner; also leaf miner resistant. Zone 4.
