Hi,

Does anyone on the list have experience with using and propagating Tree lupin (/Lupinus arboreus/) and Red alder (/Alnus rubra/)?

Am looking to use them both as mulch and fertility crops in agroforestry systems.

Have people planted any of these plants?
Any experience with propagation? Seed, cuttings, whips etc.
How would you describe habits?
Speed of growth and vigour?
Cutting for mulch?
Coppicing/pollarding?

Any info gratefully received.

Best regards,
Niels
