Ornamental Alder Tree Gift
Alnus glutinosa ‘Imperialis’
£85.00
Dispatched from our expert growing partner and delivered within 7 days.
Treat friends and family to our Ornamental Alder Tree. This specimen tree is a most welcome sight in any garden, enriching spaces with seasonal beauty and attracting wildlife in all its furry and feathered forms.
Our Alnus Imperialis Tree arrives with a slender trunk. In spring, finely cut, rich green leaves adorn its branches and continue to grow throughout the summer when they are joined by stunning yellow catkins. The catkins take on a purple tint as winter draws in and the leaves turn orange before falling off. Not to worry when the cold months arrive, our Alder Trees are more than happy in our terrible UK weather.
