- 3.10 Brussel's Bonsai Live Trident Maple Outdoor Bonsai Tree 5 Years Old 8"-12" Tall with Decorative Container, Medium
Description
It is a medium-sized tree growing up to 25 m (80 feet) tall (exceptionally to 28 m or 90 feet), with a trunk up to 70-100 centimetres (30-40 in) in diameter. The leaves are deciduous but with a very long season in leaf, from April to December in the Northern Hemisphere; they are alternate, cordate (heart-shaped), rich glossy green,
5-12 cm (2-4+3/4 inches) long, with a finely serrated margin.
The slender cylindrical male catkins are pendulous, reddish and up to 10 cm (4 inches) long; pollination is in early spring, before the leaves emerge. The female catkins are ovoid, when mature in autumn 2-3 cm (3/4–1+1/8 inches) long and 1.5-2 cm (5/8–3/4 inch) broad, dark green to brown, hard, woody, and superficially similar to some conifer cones. The small winged seeds disperse through the winter, leaving the old woody, blackish ‘cones’ on the tree for up to a year after.
Cultivation
Like other alders, it is able to improve soil fertility through symbiotic nitrogen fixation with the bacteria Actinomyces alni (Frankia alni). It grows well on drier soils that most alders. This makes it a great choice for landscape planting in areas with poor soil conditions, such as urban spoil heaps or densely packed urban sites. It is commonly grown as a windbreak.
Alnus Cordata was awarded The Royal Horticultural Society’s Award of Garden Merit.
Bonsai
The Italian Alder makes a medium to large bonsai, a quick grower it responds well to pruning with branches ramifying well and leaf size reducing quite rapidly.
