Betula nana Glengarry Form

Dwarf Arctic Birch A semi-prostrate little shrub with attractive glossy bright green foliage in late spring and summer turning to russet brown in autumn. Deciduous

Dwarf birch is circumpolar in distribution – it occurs in Greenland and Iceland and in the northern latitudes of Europe, Asia and North America. Two distinct subspecies are recognised: Betula nana ssp. nana , which grows in western coastal Greenland, Iceland, Scotland, Scandinavia, the Alps and across northern Asia to western Siberia; and Betula nana ssp. exilis , which is found in Siberia, Alaska, northern Canada and Greenland. The principal difference between these two subspecies is that exilis has shorter leaf blades than ssp. nana .
