Notes
'Grayswood Hill' erman's birch (Betula ermanii 'Grayswood Hill') is a tree for borders, containers, and low maintenance gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 6, or down to -10°F (-23°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist soil of most types. It is not a favorite of deer, though hungry deer will eat almost anything. Give it room, since it can reach about 30 to 40 feet tall.
Pairs well with Japanese maple, Salal, and Daffodil.
