The downy birch is a tree or multi-stemmed shrub with white or brownish bark and small, toothed leaves, whose young shoots are covered with soft hairs. In the harsh northern climate it rarely exceeds a few metres in height and often grows twisted by the wind. It is very resistant to frost, short summers and poor soils, and its roots protect the soil from wind and water erosion. In Iceland it hybridises with the dwarf birch (Betula nana), producing intermediate forms.
