Have two Alders grown from seed - I want to plant a native hedge this autumn - could these be incorporated into the hedge?
They are about 3ft high at the moment - should I cut the leader to encourage multi stems? If so, how short?

In late winter or early spring, male flowers appear as catkins. These provide early nectar for bees. Small finches like siskins, redpolls and goldfinches love alder seed.
