Green Alder vs Variegated DogwoodAlnus crispa Cornus alba argenteo-marginata SOLD OUT SOLD OUT 
Green Alder is a cold hardy, native shrub. It is often planted on infertile sites so it can fix nitrogen from the air and improve the soil quality.
Variegated Dogwood is a small shrub that is often used in the first row of a shelterbelt, as a hedge, or for soil stabilization projects. It has the same distinctive red bark, white flowers, and berries as Red Osier Dogwood. GREEN ALDER QUICK FACTSVARIEGATED DOGWOOD QUICK FACTS
