Alnus inokumae

Alnus inokumae is a fast and straight-growing alder that features attractive, dark-green leaves. It is an excellent option for use as a fast-growing screening tree and is capable of tolerating wet sites. During the early to mid-spring months, it produces yellow-green catkins that serve as a source of pollen for bees. Additionally, Alnus inokumae can fix nitrogen in the soil, which is beneficial for improving soil conditions for other plants. In the autumn months, its leaves turn yellow, adding a lovely touch of color to any outdoor space. Alnus inokumae is deciduous and native to the islands of Honshu and Hokkaido in Japan.
