River Alder vs Purple Leaf Sand CherryAlnus incana Prunus x cistena ONLY AVAILABLE BY CONTRACT GROW 
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.
Purple Leaf Sand Cherry provides bright reddish-purple leaves that turn bronze-green in the fall. In the spring, tiny flowers with a pinkish white hue bloom. The flowers are small, but the impact comes from the shrub blossoming all at once. RIVER ALDER QUICK FACTSPURPLE LEAF SAND CHERRY QUICK FACTS
