Notes
Birch (Betula megrelica) is a tree for shade, specimen planting, and fall color. It is hardy to USDA zone 6, or down to -10°F (-23°C). This plant likes full sun and average moisture. Greenish-yellow male and female catkins appear in late spring and early summer. It can reach about 10 to 13 feet tall and wide, so give it room to spread.
Pairs well with Alder, Cedar of lebanon, Fountain grass, and Greig's tulip.
