5 Black Alder Trees 12" Bare Root Alnus glutinosa Live Plant

Black Alder is a hardy deciduous tree valued for its rapid growth, glossy rounded leaves, and distinctive catkins that appear in late winter and early spring. Its adaptability to wet and poor soils makes it a versatile choice for naturalized areas, windbreaks, and waterside plantings.

Black Alder works well as a specimen or grouping tree where its pyramidal habit and tolerance of damp conditions are appreciated. The wood and foliage have traditional uses, and its ability to improve soil makes it a practical addition to tough landscape sites.
