It is a native of North Eastern Asia, including Eastern Russia, Manchuria, Sakhalin and Northern Japan (Hokkaido).
It will also colonize thin and poor soils in its natural habitat, hence the ' Russian Rock Birch ' and is also called ‘Gold Birch’ because of its yellow-white and pink-white peeling off bark in thin strips and the splendid yellow autumnal color .
