Why Choose Alder Trees?

Alder trees (Alnus genus) are renowned for their rapid growth, ability to fix nitrogen, and unique tolerance for poor or wet soils. This combination makes them an excellent choice for windbreaks, erosion control, and ecological planting. Their feathery foliage, catkins in spring, and rugged beauty ensure they’re attractive additions as specimen trees or in more naturalised settings. Alders are also admired by gardeners and landscapers for their contribution to biodiversity, providing shelter and food for wildlife year-round.

Applications and Care

When you choose alder trees for sale from our nursery, you’re investing in resilience. Alders are invaluable for revegetation projects, as they enhance soil fertility with their nitrogen-fixing roots. Plant them as shelterbelts to protect more delicate species, or use them in riparian zones to stabilise river margins and reduce erosion. Most Alnus species thrive in full sun and cope well with heavy or waterlogged soils.

For best results, plant young trees during autumn or early spring—ensuring the roots are kept moist and mulched. Prune lightly if required and enjoy the rapid establishment and low maintenance nature that makes alders a reliable choice for both large and small scale planting.
