Cutleaf Weeping Birch is a tall, deciduous cultivar known for its pronounced weeping branches and ferny green leaves.
It features showy, peeling white bark and brilliant yellow leaves in the fall. Cutleaf Weeping Birch makes an exceptional accent tree for suburban yards.
If you are attracted to this tree, also look at the European White Birch which is similar.
Dwarf-Bog Birch is a native, cold-hardy shrub that can be found across most of Canada. Its preference for moist soils and the extensive root system make it well-suited for riparian zone plantings, soil stabilization, and erosion control projects.
It features small, round, leathery leaves with scalloped edges and produces small, cone-like catkins. A distinguishing characteristic of the Dwarf-Bog Birch is the presence of large resin glands on the branches and the undersides of the leaves. These resin glands are the reason for its scientific name, Betula glandulosa.
Note: We use Dwarf-Bog Birch for Betula glandulosa. This species is also known by many other common names, including Bog Birch, Dwarf Birch, Glandular Birch, and others. Please confirm the scientific name to ensure you are ordering the correct plant.
