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.
Unlike the other alder varieties, River Alder is attractive enough to be included in riverside plantings by municipal and provincial park organizations.
Cattail is found all across North America, growing next to water. Like other waterside plants, Cattail provides erosion control and forage for animals.
It is suitable for land reclamation. Cattail is able to tolerate cold weather and occasional flooding.
Note: Unfortunately this difficult to grow species is not currently scheduled to grow at TreeTime.ca. Perhaps try purchasing seed from SeedTime.ca and growing your own? Or sign up for a restock notification above.
