Benefits
• RHS cell grown Italian Alder hedging plants, under licence granted by the Royal Horticultural Society
• Extended planting season - they can be planted when you want to plant them, as long as the roots are kept moist. You are not restricted to the bare root season
• Minimal root disturbance - root systems are supplied intact, with no loss of fine feeding roots and root hairs, so once planted they can grow rapidly, not suffering the shock that bare root plants will.
• Uniformity - these plants are more uniform.

NB: Cell Grown Plants are sold in bundles containing 12 plants. Unfortunately, we are unable deliver split bundles. We can offer a substantial volume discount. These plants are between 20-40cm high though the actual height may vary due to the growing season.

Complete Product Information for Italian Alder (Alnus cordata) Pack of 12 Cell Grown 20-40cm
This RHS Premium Cell Grown Italian Alder (Alnus Cordata) has rich glossy green, heart-shaped leaves between 5-12cm long, with a finely serrated margin. is a medium-sized tree growing to 17-25m tall with a trunk up to 70-100cm diameter.

The slender cylindrical male catkins are pendulous, yellowish in colour and 5-10 cm long; pollination is in early spring, before the leaves emerge. The female catkins are ovoid, when mature in autumn 2-3 cm long and 1.5-2 cm broad, dark green to brown in colour, hard, woody, and superficially similar to some conifer cones. The small winged seeds disperse through the winter, leaving the old woody, blackish `cones` on the tree for up to a year after.

The plants come with their root systems intact, whereas bare root plants can lose the tiny fine feeding roots and root hairs when they are lifted. This means that they will become more established quicker than bare root. They can also be planted into warm soils when roots are active, outside the dormant period. Whereas the bare root season ends between April to September, September, October, March April and May are ideal months for planting cell grown plants. In fact, unlike bare root, you can plant cell grown plants throughout the year as long as the roots are kept moist. That is why 60% of the world`s forestry trees are now cell grown!
