Question from Robert Poll, South Jordan, UT (received 4/21/20) -

Would Prairie Horizon Manchurian Alder grow in South Jordan or is it too hot for it in the summer?

Answer from Gabrielle Harden, USU Forestry Extension Educator (sent 4/22/20) -

Robert,

Prairie Horizon Manchurian Alder is a very adaptable species. It is cold hardy to zone 3, so it can survive our coldest winters. This species is tolerant of everything from full sun to full shade, and both wet and dry conditions. Because of its ability to adapt, I believe it should grow just fine in South Jordan.

Best of luck
