Slow growing and unusual, slender small tree with filigree-like, deeply cut, sea-green leaves a little similar in appearance to those of a maple. The leaves are exceptionally pretty and elegant and once established this Alder has an attractive, vaguely oriental appearance.
Alnus glutinosa 'Imperialis' is a classic plant for damp sites and particularly ornamental when planted next to a pond or stream!
- Position: Full sun or partial shade.
- Soil: Any fertile soil. Alnus glutinosa 'Imperialis' will tolerate wet conditions or dry soils
- Hardiness: Hardy.
- Rate of Growth: Moderate.
- Habit: Alnus glutinosa 'Imperialis' grows to be a small tree with a narrow crown.

- Notes: A specimen of Alnus glutinosa 'Imperialis', planted in the arboretum surrounding our nursery reached a height of 3.5 m, a spread of 2 m after 12 years. In our experience, this selection is more slow growing than other Alnus listed here and is therefore a better choice for small gardens.
