Alder (Common)

Thriving in damp, cool areas like wet woodlands, marshes and the banks of streams or rivers, the alder tree doesn’t rot when waterlogged. A conical tree that can reach up to 28m and live for 60 years, it’s the only native deciduous tree to develop cones.

Please note: all our trees are 20 – 40cm in height, depending on the time of year they may arrive bare or with browning leaves. This is completely normal and they will perk back up in the warmer weather. Our cell grown saplings can be planted all year round if given the right care and attention.
