Best Answer

The tree's name is dwarf willow or Salix herbacea.

By definition a tree "is a woody plant with a single erect perennial trunk at least 3 inches in diameter at breast height (DBH)." Does that definition settle the argument that this woody plant is actually not a tree but a woody shrub.

add. Distinguishing Trees, Shrubs, and Bushes is an arbitrary affair. Whilst there is a distinction between herbs (annuals with rare exceptions), trees are a permanent biota, and are the longest-living life forms. Various 'authorities' give various dimensions for a tree, but there is no agreement. Some would even require a tree to have a single stem!

So, Of the branched, permanent flora, the shortest members are Raoulia, which sometimes top out at 30mm or less.
