Product Overview
These fat little pyramidal scotch pines in the nursery row resemble ‘Green Penguins’ on the march! The tufted juvenile growth is surrounded by longer needles, giving it additional texture with only 2-3” of growth a year. Unlike seedling Scotch pine, the bright green needle color is retained all year. Extreme hardiness has been reported in trials in Duluth, MN. The very dense pyramidal form never needs pruning, adding to the ease in production maintenance. In unforgiving climates, such as Zone 3, where Dwarf Alberta Spruce struggles to survive, ‘Green Penguin’ is a hardier and very similar substitution.
