Common Alder is child-safe

he Common Alder (Alnus glutinosa) is generally considered a safe tree for gardens and outdoor spaces. Here’s what’s relevant:

🌱 Non-toxic – Alder is not listed as poisonous to humans, children, dogs, cats, or livestock (unlike yew or laburnum, which are toxic).

🍃 Leaves, bark, and cones – Not edible, but contact is not harmful. Children touching or handling them is safe.

🌳 Best practice – As with most plants, it’s recommended to discourage eating leaves, bark, or seeds, since they are not food crops.
