Evergreen Alder - Alnus jorullensis
Evergreen alder does one job extremely well: it puts up a tall dense green screen faster than almost any other tree of its size. Alnus jorullensis keeps its glossy softly toothed leaves through winter in warm districts, fixes its own nitrogen through root nodules, and tolerates soils that stay wet longer than most trees will accept. It is a working tree rather than a fine specimen, and it needs siting with its brittle wood and shallow surface roots in mind.
Why Evergreen Alder
Screening speed: Young trees commonly put on well over a metre a year, closing a boundary gap in two or three seasons.
Holds leaves in winter: In warm temperate and subtropical districts the screen does not disappear in July.
Wet soil tolerance: One of the few fast trees that will grow on a seepage line or a poorly drained corner.
Feeds itself: Nitrogen fixing nodules let it thrive on poor and disturbed ground without fertiliser.
Prunes readily: It reshoots strongly after cutting back, so height can be managed rather than accepted.
Ideal Applications
Fast boundary screen: The standard choice where a two storey neighbour needs blocking quickly.
Creek and drainage lines: Suits damp low lying ground that defeats most other screening trees.
Rural shelter belts: Grown in rows to shelter stock, orchards and house sites.
Large property boundaries: Best on acreage where the root zone can be kept well away from structures.
Specimen & Installation
Spacing (screening/hedge): 3 to 4m
Spacing (feature/avenue): 8 to 10m
Best Planting Season: Autumn or spring in warm districts; spring only where winters are cold
Soil & Drainage: Very adaptable, including heavy clay and periodically wet soil; it will also grow on poor disturbed fill
Establishment Care: Water twice weekly for the first summer to get the screen moving, then reduce, since it is not deeply drought tolerant. Stake young trees against wind because the wood is brittle, and keep plantings at least 8 to 10m from paving, footings and drainage pipes given the shallow vigorous root system.
