Alder

Alder Tassels

Alders, a group of trees and shrubs well adapted to wet soils, are found in the northern temperate regions of North America and Eurasia. The wood from alders is especially resistant to rot while under water, and for this reason alders are used for underwater pilings and bridge supports.
