Alder
Alder or Alnus trees are among the fastest-growing shelter and landscape trees for New Zealand gardens and lifestyle blocks. Valued for their vigorous growth, nitrogen-fixing roots and ability to thrive in challenging conditions, Alnus species are ideal for shelter belts, riparian planting, erosion control and improving poor soils. At CJ’s Plants we grow Italian Alder (Alnus cordata), Black Alder (Alnus glutinosa) and Mexican Alder (Alnus jorullensis), giving you options for everything from wet paddocks to exposed rural properties.
