Product reviews for Alnus glutinosa Bare Roots 40 60cm 

Alnus glutinosa Bare Roots 40 60cm

Alnus glutinosa Bare Roots 40 60cm

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 40 60cm bare roots.Fast GrowingWildlife Friendly
