    		It says so in this page, yes. But this page claims that there are more than one native tree to Iceland.

    Quote:
    The most common tree native to Iceland is the Northern Birch Betula pubescens, which formerly formed forest over much of Iceland along with "Aspen" (Populus Tremola), "Rowan" (Sorbus Aucuparia) and "Common Juniper" (Juniperus communis) and other smaller trees.

    		This page claims that there are no trees at all native to Greenland. I don't know if that is correct.
