Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Tiny leaves emerge deep-yellow tinged with orange-red before aging to a glowing yellow-chartreuse on this very hardy miniature birch. Left to grow naturally it will develop into a lovely vase-shaped 2-4' shrub, it also takes shearing and pruning well making it a choice plant for your container garden. This is a wonderful way to add a bright spot to your landscape! Cesky Gold® S-PSh/M PPAF
