Alnus cordata, the Italian Alder, is a fast-growing, highly resilient tree known for its glossy, heart-shaped leaves, tidy upright form, and remarkable ability to thrive in poor, dry, or compacted soils. It is widely used for screening, boundary planting, windbreaks, and urban landscaping, thanks to its strength in polluted, exposed, and drought-prone environments. With early catkins, attractive summer foliage, and reliable year-round performance, the Italian Alder is an excellent choice for both functional and ornamental planting.
