Alder is a deciduous tree, it sheds leaves in fall. In reality, they can be from 5 to 30 meters tall, but the two most common variants Red Alder (originally from North America) and Black Alder (from Europe), both of which fall on the 30 m side. Both have been reintroduced beyond their original range, and are quite common. If you've ever seen some trees, chances are you've seen some alders. The name has to do with the bark, most likely.

They're good for smoking food as well as furniture, and Native Americans used the bark's salicylic acid to treat wounds.
