Alnus (Alder)

Alnus, commonly known as alder, are fast-growing deciduous trees well suited to demanding sites across NZ.

Highly valued for their ability to thrive in wet or poorly drained soils, alder trees are a practical solution for riparian planting, erosion control, and low-lying areas where other species may struggle. Their upright growth and dense canopy also make them effective for shelter, screening, and establishing structure quickly in new developments.

Adaptable and vigorous, Alnus perform across a wide range of soil conditions, making them a reliable choice for large-scale landscape projects and restoration planting.
