Smallest tree in the world - Greenland

Did you know that the smallest tree in the world is the Dwarf Willow and you’ll find it in Greenland.  It grows in tundra and rocky moorland and typically grows to only 1-6 cm / 2 inches in height! 

It is the most common of a group of tiny creeping willows and is adapted to survive in harsh arctic and sub-arctic environments including both sides of the North Atlantic, Arctic northwest Asia, northern Europe and eastern Canada, and further south to the Pyrenees, the Alps, the Rila in Europe and the northern Appalachian Mountains in New York.

So if you ever find yourself lost in some woods in Greenland, all you have to do is stand up!  (bad joke...queue tumbleweed...)
