This is Europes most rarest plant with only one living specimen remain in the Botanical Garden of Krakow.
No wild subpopulations are presently known, but there is a specimen planted in Krakow Botanical Garden. It is also thought to be possible to reconstruct the taxon from the natural hybrid, B. oycoviensis, produced when B. szaferi and B. pendula are crossed. Although the hybrid still occurs in the wild in several central European countries, the parent species evidently do not still coexist in the wild.

It would be interesting to know whether the pure Betula szaferi tree is still surviving in the Botanical garden of Krakow or if only the hybrids are surviving.
