Green Alder vs Variegated DogwoodAlnus crispa Cornus alba argenteo-marginata SOLD OUT SOLD OUT (new stock expected: fall of 2019) 
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, also known as Silver Leaf 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 and white flowers and berries as Red Osier Dogwood. GREEN ALDER QUICK FACTSVARIEGATED DOGWOOD QUICK FACTS
