'Royal Frost' birch (Betula 'Royal Frost') is a tree for specimen, accent, and winter interest plantings. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to wet, sandy or loamy soil. It blooms in early to late spring and turns color in fall. It sits low on the menu for deer. You can plant it where its height and spread have room to grow.
