Full description

Alder Buckthorn is a very important hedgerow plant for the Brimstone butterfly, bees, moths, various birds and also the Wood mouse.

It has small white flowers in the spring and red/black berries in the autumn, quickly consumed by hungry birds.  It tends to prefer damp and often acid soils - not dry, calcareous soils.  Despite its name, it does not have thorns.

Bare-root plants: 60-90 cm.

PLEASE NOTE: Minimum order for Hedgerow Plants is 30 plants.  (This could be 10 each of 3 different species.)  If ordering in addition to a Hedgerow Collection, then any number can be ordered.
