Red alder
Definition
A tree species native to western North America (Alnus rubra), introduced locally in European experimental crops, remarkable for its large size and grey bark that turns bright reddish when scratched or cut. This fast-growing pioneer tree prefers humid climates and deep soils, highly valued in the fine lumber and furniture industries due to the homogeneous texture and warm color of the processed wood.
