Alnus Incana Multi Stem 250/300cm Rootballed Delivery November

Alnus are vigorous deciduous trees and large shrubs with rounded leaves and often conspicuous catkins in winter. Alnus thrive best in moist but well drained soil and prefer a position in full sun. 

Alnus Incana known as Grey Alder is a really nice form of this species. This fast growing variety is a perfect all rounder and can even tolerate dry soils once established! Large deciduous tree with compact crown with smooth dark grey bark with pointed dark green, hairy  foliage. The yellowish brown catkins arrive early spring, ideal feast for the early insects, the cones that follow in summer the birds then feast on them.  It is also known for its non sticky parts that can drop everywhere!  Height 12m plus.

Incana thrives in sun in a vast range of soils from damp to dry all once they are fully established. Due to the size of these specimens it is wise to plant away from building and pipes. This particular variety ca be pruned hard as well making it a great choice for windbreaks.
