Product Description

Common Name: Common Alder Our Royal Horticultural Society Alder (Alnus glutinosa ) is a fast growing, deciduous native plant with shiny leaves, producing a violet haze with yellow catkins in March & releasing attractive false cones in autumn that can last longer. The leaves are a roundedfan shape, when they first emerge they are a softorange brown colour & later mature to dark green. Trimming the hedge during July August helps retain its leaves throughout winter. It is particularly good in costal positions, but also sun or semi shade & due to its fast growth when young, it can be used to form an effective windbreak to protect other plants. It grows in all conditions of soil, but best in moist or even wet soil & will tolerate prolonged periods of standing in water.RHS bare root hedging is a very low cost way of planting a hedge, but is only available to buy & plant when dormant (November March). Orders ahead of 1st November will be stored to guarantee an early delivery date.
