Northern Tribute
Royal Frost Birch

Microcuttings / Rooted Plantlets
Betula populifolia 'Whitespire' x. B. hyb. 'Crimson Frost' 'Penci-2'
Zone 4, possibly 3
Considered by the breeder, Evergreen Nursery Co., to be an improvement over Crimson Frost, with a stronger central leader, faster growth and greater retention of the fabulous burgundy leaf color throughout the summer. Growers find it to be an altogether strong tree. Cinnamon to white bard. Expected to reach mature height 30-40 feet with a spread of 15-20 feet.
