Alnus viridis (Chaix) DC.
Green alder, mountain alder, Sitka alder, Siberian alder
Alders are small to medium in size, often with multiple trunks and branches. Green alders rarely exceed 15' (4.6 m) in height, about haf the size of other alders, a woody shrub rather than a tree. These fast-growing shrubs are often found beside wet areas. They are also common on mountains, especially in avalanche-prone regions, where their ability to regrow from damaged stumps allows them to out-compete other trees. Identification: Green alders have lenticels—white or light gray patches, that are roughly diamond-shaped. See Alnus for a comparison table. Online References:
