Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Very choice dwarf Birch which Sue brought with her from Vermont. This is native to eastern Canada and we've stumped every hort illuminati as to species and all but one or two as to genus. It looks like some crazy dwarf Ceonothus with dense stems and closely held leaves. Rare? I guess!
