Plant Description

The Alnus cordata, commonly known as the Italian Alder, is a fast-growing deciduous tree native to southern Italy and Corsica. It features a slender, upright trunk with smooth gray bark and a dense crown of glossy, heart-shaped leaves that remain vibrant green well into autumn. This tree produces small, inconspicuous catkins in spring, followed by woody cones that persist through winter. The Alnus cordata is valued for its adaptability to a range of soils, its nitrogen-fixing roots, and its utility in erosion control and landscape design.
