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 .
