About this plant

Black alder grows quickly into a green, upright tree well suited to moist ground.

As the plant matures it forms a broad, often pyramidal crown, creating a strong shape through the growing season.

Best used for

Choose it for a large naturalistic garden, damp site or landscape planting.

Give the plant enough space and light to show its natural form.

Growth & mature size

Growth per year 40–80 cm per year Fast growth
Expected mature size 15–25 m high / 8–12 m wide

Expect around 40–80 cm of new growth per year after establishment in good conditions. At maturity it typically reaches 15–25 m in height and 8–12 m in width. Allow room for a broad, often pyramidal crown; soil, water, exposure and pruning all influence its final outline.

How to care

Plant in deep soil that stays moist; allow ample room for mature roots and crown. Keep the soil consistently moist, especially in summer. Top-dress with mature compost once a year in spring, keeping it clear of the stems. Remove damaged or crossing branches as needed, avoiding heavy routine pruning.

What you will receive

You will receive a healthy container plant in the selected size. The plant is prepared for delivery and supplied ready for planting.

Natural variation in shape, branching, leaf density and seasonal appearance is normal. Plants may look different depending on the time of year.
