A L N U S ... G L U T I N O S A

Being a waterside treee, Alder need wet roots so I stand the pot in a large 'suiban' (water tray) and keep it in full sun all day. Even with moderate feeding, this results in very vigorous and dense growth which is hard work to control. This photograph was taken two weeks after total defoliation.
