Cesky Gold® Dwarf Birch- Tough, colorful, and compact—Cesky Gold® is one of the hardiest shrubs you can grow! This dwarf birch thrives even in USDA zone 2 and brings bright seasonal color with new growth in sunset tones of yellow, orange, and red, maturing to cheerful chartreuse. Its fan-like shape looks great left natural or pruned into a tidy low hedge.
Why you’ll love it:
Survives extreme cold (down to -50°F/-45.6°C)
Bright, colorful foliage all season
Naturally compact and easy to shape
Deer resistant
Closely related to birch trees, but this dwarf variety grows slowly and stays much smaller than its towering cousins.
Blooms on old wood
Maintenance Notes:
Very low-maintenance once established. Can be pruned for shape or left to grow naturally.
