The world's shortest tree specie is the Dwarf {Least} Willow {Salix herbacea}. It is rare to find one more than 2 1/2 inches tall. They are also dioecious, producing both male, yellow colored and female, red colored catkins. They have been found growing on frozen tundra in the Arctic.

I came across a couple of sites while I was looking for things for my website. Decided to share the info I found here instead of on my web. I am glad you are enjoying it.
