Alnus: Nature’s Hardy Helpers.

There’s something truly admirable about an Alnus tree, or alder as we often call them. These trees are hardy, reliable, and bring a quiet beauty to our British landscapes. They’re well-suited to a variety of conditions but are particularly fond of damp soil, making them perfect for areas prone to wetness, like along streams or ponds. Alnus trees are resilient and fast-growing, which makes them fantastic for gardeners looking to establish a bit of greenery quickly. Their distinctive catkins add texture and interest in late winter and early spring, while their leaves create a lush canopy through the warmer months.

Practical Beauty with a Purpose.

One of the marvellous things about Alnus trees is their remarkable ability to improve the soil around them. They’re nitrogen-fixers, which means they can take nitrogen from the air and transfer it to the soil, enriching it and supporting other plants nearby. This makes them wonderful companions in mixed plantings or in woodland gardens where biodiversity is key. Alnus trees don’t just add visual interest; they play a crucial role in creating a healthier garden ecosystem. Their strong roots also help prevent soil erosion, making them a practical choice for stabilising banks and slopes.

A Friend to Wildlife Year-Round.

Alnus trees are a haven for wildlife, offering food, shelter, and habitat throughout the year. Their catkins provide an early source of pollen for bees and other pollinators, while the seeds, housed in their little cone-like fruits, are a favourite with birds, especially siskins and redpolls. The dense foliage offers shelter to various insects and birds, making it a lively addition to any garden. Planting an Alnus is about more than just adding beauty—it’s creating a thriving environment for wildlife, a little sanctuary that will bring your garden to life.
