Red Alder / Oregon Alder Hedging Plants - Alnus rubra

Red Alder (Alnus rubra)

Red Alder is a medium sized, fast growing tree.  It is remarkable in that it has attractive foliage, in spring and in autumn and it also produces huge catkins (the largest in the alder family) in spring. Red Alder will thrive on any soil, including boggy ground, is good for screening and can be used as a component in a tall (2m+) rural hedge or as a single species hedge when it makes a very good windbreak.
