Alder Alnus glutinosa |
||||||
| Common near water, can reach 20m in height. Mature trees have rather sparse crowns. The bark is brown or grey and has fissures. The leaves are quite rounded & hazel like in appearance, but often have an indented tip. The female catkins are cone like. After the winged seeds are released, the female catkins remain on the tree for some time. | ||||||
