Description
Betula nana Golden Treasure is an excellent addition to any garden. This plant is a type of dwarf birch that was immensely popular in the 70s but then forgotten. However, the Golden Treasure variety is anything but dull. It forms a compact golden bush that looks like a ball of golden fog and retains its beautiful appearance from summer to autumn. Moreover, it's a hardy and adaptable plant that can tolerate shallow soils and container gardening as long as the soil remains moist. This makes it perfect for small urban gardens, balconies, and sunny terraces.
The Golden Treasure Dwarf Birch is a cultivated variety of Betula nana, a small undershrub from the birch family. This species is commonly found in peat bogs, acidic heathlands of central and northern Europe, and boreal and arctic regions of Asia and America. The Golden Treasure Dwarf Birch has a compact and rounded shape, and it grows slowly, reaching a maximum of 1m (3 ft) in all directions. Its deciduous leaves are triangular with serrated edges, measuring less than 1 cm (0.4 in) each. The leaves are acid green in spring, while in summer and autumn, they turn golden yellow. The Golden Treasure Dwarf Birch blooms in May, producing female aments that are yellow-brown, upright, ovoid, and cylindrical.
The main attraction of the golden dwarf birch is its golden foliage, but its small size is a real asset for small spaces, rockeries, or flower containers. Planting with red or purple grasses, such as 'Red Baron' Imperata or Phormium tenax Purpureum, is fabulous, both in flower beds and on the terrace. All colourful foliage will accompany it: that of Physocarpus 'Diable d'Or', 'Diabolo', 'Lady in Red' or 'Midnight', Heuchera XXL, or 'Jofloma' Hydrangea macrophylla. Summer and acid-loving heathers, such as callunas, are perfect companions for this bush that grows alongside them in boreal heathlands.

Planting and care
Easy to grow in a soil that is not too chalky, even poor or clay, the dwarf birch requires little maintenance, apart from regular watering in pots or in case of prolonged drought. It is preferably planted in, water retaining, humus-rich, fertile soil, that is somewhat acidic, to obtain beautiful foliage colours, but it will also develop in neutral to slightly chalky soil, in the sun or in partial shade. Pruning in autumn will accentuate its compact habit, even if it is not essential.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
