Alder (Alnus glutinosa)

Alder trees provide a fast growing screening with attractive catkins in spring

Alder trees exhibit a tall, pyramidal growth form and serve as a habitat for more than 280 insect species. Their catkins, which bloom in early spring from February to April, are accompanied by small, cone-like fruits that bear a resemblance to pinecones.

The dark green leaves are racquet-shaped with a leathery texture.

Alder trees are highly adaptable, tolerating various conditions and soils, though they thrive especially well in damp environments. These trees are also notable for their longevity, living up to 250 years and reaching a mature height of 20 meters.
