Alnus rubra (Red alder)
A PNW native tree that's an important pioneer species. Red alder adapts well to varying soil quality and moisture levels, while fixing nitrogen in soil. It provides excellent habitat to numerous songbirds and a lot of shade as it grows up to 75 feet tall. For color, enjoy alder’s bright pink winter canopy, vibrant green shade in the spring and summer, and beautiful yellow fall foliage.
It is most often used for revegetation, but Red Alder trees are compatible near homes if you monitor them occasionally with your professional arborist when they mature.
