River Alder vs Ninebark
Physocarpus opulifolius
Alnus incana
ONLY AVAILABLE BY CONTRACT GROW
NOT AVAILABLE THIS SEASON
Ninebark is a small, multi-stemmed shrub, that is used to add texture or colour to any yard.
It features flaky, cinnamon-brown bark, attractive white flowers, and long, maple-like leaves.
River Alder is a large shrub or small tree with a multi-stemmed, spreading habit. It is an excellent tree to plant if you want to stabilize the soil near rivers and creeks.
Unlike the other alder varieties, River Alder is attractive enough to be included in riverside plantings by municipal and provincial park organizations.
