Alnus glutinosa Bare Roots - 60-90cm

Alnus glutinosa Bare Roots – 60-90cm £62.94
The Alder is a native, fast growing, deciduous species that’s particularly well suited to wet sites. Its young buds are a bit sticky (hence it’s Latin name) but develop into a nice dark, glossy leaf – and generally where it is grown in wet sites, it keeps it’s leaves in autumn for a considerably longer time than most other deciduous species. The other big advantage of Alder is that it’s roots fix nitrogen in the soil – so it enhances soil quality over time and is especially useful in areas with poor soil quality. Alder has slender male, reddish brown catkins and a female fruit which is hard, darker in colour and shaped like a very small pine cone – these female fruits often stay on the bushes throughout most of winter and look very attractive. Flowers early March-late May. Grows 60cm+ per year. Supplied as 60-90cm bare roots.Fast GrowingWildlife Friendly
