Notes
'Crimson Frost' birch (Betula 'Crimson Frost') is a tree for specimen, accent, and winter interest. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to wet, sandy or loamy soil. Yellow-green flowers open in early to late spring, and the leaves color up in fall. Deer usually look elsewhere for a meal. Give it room to spread.
Pairs well with Ostrich fern, Chokeberry, and Sedge.
