#ProPlantTips for Care:
Dwarf Birch shrubs are as easy to grow as their tree-form counterparts! Give them some sun or partial shade and a well-drained enriched site. Like other Birch family plants, Cesky Gold® is highly adaptable once established. Provide regular waterings their first year, then they become able to handle higher moisture environments and occasional drought! Top-dress with a 3-4 inch thick layer of arborist mulch over their roots for best results, insulation in the winter, and to enrich the soil. Though rarely needed, shear or prune in the late spring or after flowering.
- Full Sun & Partial Shade
- Well-Drained Rich Soil
- Regular Water At First - Highly Adaptable Once Established
- Shear/Prune If Needed Late Spring
- Very Cold-Hardy!
Colorful bursts of carefree landscape décor, the Proven Winners® ColorChoice® Cesky Gold® Dwarf Birch shrub will boost curb appeal and interest in your landscape! Order plants no one else on the block has discovered yet from Nature Hills Nursery!
