Deciduous Trees For Coastal Areas
Alnus jorullensis
Alnus jorullensis, commonly known as the Evergreen Alder or Mexican Alder, is a fast-growing tree that produces a broad crown of open and drooping branches. The branches host dark green leaves with serrated edges and while it will generally be evergreen, in cooler climates it may become deciduous or semi-deciduous as it reaches 10 m tall and 6 m wide. Alnus jorullensis is commonly grown as a specimen, used for screening and shelter, trimmed into a hedge, or planted in the wetter areas of a garden or alongside water features such as ponds and streams.

Gleditsia triacanthos Ruby Lace
“Ruby Lace” is a medium-sized, deciduous tree grown for its lovely form and colourful foliage. It grows as a graceful, spreading tree with delicate, dark green foliage. As autumn progresses, the foliage changes to colourful shades of deep red and purple before falling. It typically grows to 6 m tall and 4 m wide and can easily be contained with trimming. This is a hardy plant that grows best in full sun on a well-drained site. It is tolerant of frosts, cool climates, and coastal conditions but does require protection from strong winds. “Ruby Lace” is commonly grown as a specimen, included in mixed plantings, planted around an entranceway, used in avenue plantings, or maintained as the centrepiece in a courtyard garden.
