Here is a great plant for the Seussian gardener in our cold climate. “Trost’s Dwarf” cutleaf birch forms an irregularly mounding shrubby form that resembles milfoil suspended in watery animation. Hardy to zone 3, this is a safer bet than dwarf threadleaf Japanese maples if you’re looking for this form/texture combination. Available for the 2018 season at Green Value Nursery.
