The Story

  • Alnus incana or grey alder is a large deciduous tree native to Europe but now common in Britain, notable for its tolerance of poor growing conditions and its benefit to wildlife
  • Shiny ovate leaves and pollinator-attracting yellow-brown catkins in February followed by characteristic long lasting hard-green fruits that sustain birds in the winter.
  • A steady grower that can end up 20 x 10m after 20 years.
  • Possesses rare nitrogen fixing ability allowing it to both grow in and restore poor, dry soils.
  • Our trees are professionally pruned before dispatching. This formative pruning can involve cutting the main leader, if the expert tree growers decide this will produce a better shaped tree. This can stop the tree becoming "leggy", and promote stronger, bushier growth.MORE
