Betula michauxii is a broadleaf deciduous perennial shrub with green foliage. In spring flowers emerge. Grows well with sun - bright shade and even moisture water. Does well in rich and well-drained soil. A good option if you're seeking something verticillium wilt resistant and wind tolerant.
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!
