- Planting & Care
- Alnus incana, or grey alder, is a robust deciduous tree native to Europe, now widespread in Britain.
- Features glossy, ovate leaves and yellow-brown catkins that attract pollinators in late winter to early spring, followed by durable green fruits that provide food for birds during winter.
- Grows steadily, reaching dimensions of 20 x 10 meters within 20 years.
- Has a unique ability to fix nitrogen, enabling it to grow in and rejuvenate poor, dry soils.
- Our trees are expertly pruned before shipping. This formative pruning may involve trimming the main leader to encourage a better shape, prevent legginess, and promote robust, bushy growth.
- Species: Alnus incana
- Flowering Season: Late winter to early spring

- Habit: Pyramidal, Oval

- Plant in full sun in moderately fertile, moist but well-drained soil.
