Green Alder vs Green BulrushAlnus crispa Scirpus pallidus SOLD OUT ONLY AVAILABLE BY CONTRACT GROW 
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.
Green Bulrush is a common waterside plant, suitable for erosion control and land reclamation. Despite this, Green Bulrush is very drought resistant once established. Bulrushes can cool nearby areas on hot days. GREEN ALDER QUICK FACTSGREEN BULRUSH QUICK FACTS
