Alder Tree | Alnus glutinosa
- Some plants are fussy when it comes to the conditions they need - the alder? Not a chance. This easygoing legend laughs at the prospect of wet, boggy soil. In fact, it actively welcomes it.
- Often used in land reclamation thanks to that ability to thrive in poor conditions, as well as their nitrogen-fixing properties, the alder is an oft-overlooked tree when it comes to the home garden.
- With lush green, rounded leaves, charming catkins and dainty little cones just to top it all off, this fast-growing superstar has everything going for it.
- Its attractive, broadly pyramidal/conical habit becomes more pronounced over time, and growing to well over 12m if left to its own devices, this tree is a great option as a screening plant.
- Did you know? Because of its rot-resistant properties when submerged in water, much of Venice is built upon wooden piles made from alder, stilll functioning as well today as they did when the city was first built over 1,600 years ago.
