Dwarf Birch is a small, shrubby tree belonging to the Betulaceae family. It typically grows to a height of 1 to 3 feet and is commonly found in cold, northern regions, including parts of Alaska and Canada. This plant thrives in tundra and alpine environments, often forming dense mats. The leaves of Dwarf Birch are small, oval-shaped, and have a serrated edge. In spring, it produces small, catkin-like flowers that are wind-pollinated. This species plays a vital role in its ecosystem, providing food and habitat for various wildlife, including birds and insects.
