Red Alder | Alnus rubra - Height 300-350cm - Girth 10-12cm - 55lt
£255.00
Unit price perEstimated delivery between October 16 and October 18.
Alnus rubra, commonly known as red alder, is a fast-growing deciduous tree native to the west coast of North America, from Alaska to California. It is easily recognized by its smooth, gray bark and broad, ovate leaves with serrated edges that turn yellow in the fall. Red alder typically grows 40 to 80 feet tall and thrives in moist, well-drained soils, often along rivers, streams, and in disturbed areas. One of its most notable ecological traits is its ability to fix atmospheric nitrogen through a symbiotic relationship with bacteria in its root nodules. This natural enrichment improves soil fertility and supports forest regeneration, making it an important pioneer species in reforestation and ecological restoration projects. Red alder also provides habitat and food for various wildlife species, including birds and insects. In addition to its ecological value, its light-colored wood is used in furniture, cabinetry, and paper production due to its workability and smooth finish.
