Alnus glutinosa Laciniata Introduced from France in the 1820’s this cultivar has finely cut deep green leaves that are a joy to behold when looking up through the canopy against a rich blue sky.

A tree of medium size it has a graceful conical habit and is very good for broad verges and for parks. It thrives in all soils though prefers damp ground and tolerates air pollution.

Being a variation of a native tree the cut leaves make this truly striking. It is particularly effective when planted as a triangle at 7 metre centres as the foliage eventually merges to magnify the effect.
