Pinus sylvestris ‘Green Penguin’ – Green Penguin Scots Pine
Pinus sylvestris ‘Green Penguin’ is a charming dwarf specimen Scots Pine. Known for its small, squat appearance, hence the name Green Pegnuin. This specific cultivar was found as a seedling in Park Rapids, Minnesota, by Jim Lewis. This cultivar is also known for its extreme hardiness with it being able to withstand temperatures as low as -40 degrees Fahrenheit.

This specific dwarf cultivar boasts a vibrant green that hardly fades in the winter. ‘Green Penguin’ grows 3-5 inches a year and tops out at about 4 feet tall. Our specimen resides in the Brook Garden at the arboretum across from the Elizabeth Magnolia and neighbors a three-flowered maple. This garden features a menagerie of unique and adorable dwarf conifers. This time of year, especially when there is snow on the ground, is the perfect time to enjoy these wacky conifers.
