Common Alder (Alnus glutinosa) Pack of 12 Cell Grown 20-40cm

Product Code:  ALGL12

From Only: £18.39 Ex VAT
Or £1.53 Per plant


Our RHS Common Alder (Alnus glutinosa) cell grown plants are extracted from their cells prior to despatch and are wrapped in protective packaging to ensure the root plug stays moist. The plants come with their root systems intact, whereas bare root plants can lose the fine feeding roots and root hairs when they are lifted. This means that cell grown plants can become more quickly established than bare root. Another advantage of cell grown Common Alder is that it can be planted into warm soils when roots are active, outside the dormant period. As long as the roots are kept moist, cell grown plants can be planted throughout the year.

Complete Product Information for Common Alder (Alnus glutinosa) Pack of 12 Cell Grown 20-40cm
The RHS Alder hedge (Alnus glutinosa) inherits the Glutinosa in its Latin names from the stickiness of its buds and young leaves. It is a fast growing, deciduous native plant with shiny leaves, producing a purple haze with yellow catkins in March and releasing attractive false cones in autumn that can last longer. The leaves are a rounded-fan shape, when they first emerge they are a soft-orange brown colour and later mature to dark green.

Trimming the hedge during July/August helps retain its leaves throughout winder. It is particularly good in costal positions, but also sun or semi shade and 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 and will tolerate prolonged periods of standing in water.

The Alder hedge is wildlife friendly, particularly for caterpillars of butterflies and moths. However its main advantage is that it can thrive near water and in very poor and wet soil.

It is good at fixing atmospheric nitrogen for its own use, but also makes nitrogen available to other plants that grow nearby. It has a heavy leafy canopy and the autumn leaf fall builds up the content Hedge height up to 6ft.
