Well-suited to damp and wet soil, this tree is distinguished by its elegant glossy foliage. Italian Alder (Alnus cordata) makes an attractive, shapely tree.
Its crown is considerably denser than our other alders and its catkins are particularly long and attractive.
A fast-growing tree, planted along with other alder varieties for wetland woodland, ideal for wildlife.Height 25ft x12 ft in 20 year
