    Dense, thick needles on this upright, bushy pine give the plant the appearance of a penguin. A very distinctive pine with a clever name

    By: Conifer Kingdom

    Upright and conical, standing up like a little green penguin, this cute dwarf Scotch Pine is a perfect specimen or accent plant! Slow-growing to reach just 4' tall x 2'wide with very bright-green foliage this pine looks great in the ground or container. Exceptionally cold hardy for more gardeners to enjoy; a chance seedling discovered at J Farms in Dayton Oregon. S/MGDr
