      I got this plant as a clone in 1995 from an arctic-alpine botanical garden here in Germany. I don't know the origin; the garden only gave the information “Range: Alaska”.
      It has grown for a long time in my garden and has no problems. It’s a male plant; catkins are rare and it grows slowly. It's about 100 cm tall now.
