River Alder vs Water SedgeAlnus incana Carex aquatilis COMING SOON NOT AVAILABLE THIS SEASON (we don't know if or when this product will be restocked) 
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.
Water Sedge is a waterside grass which grows an extensive horizontal root system. This prevents erosion and allows it to grow back after being eaten. RIVER ALDER QUICK FACTSWATER SEDGE QUICK FACTS
