Alnus rubra
Alnus rubra, the red alder, is a deciduous broadleaf tree native to western North America (Alaska, Yukon, British Columbia, Washington, Oregon, California, Idaho and Montana).
Description
It is the largest species of alder in North America and one of the largest in the world, reaching heights of 20 to 30 m (66 to 98 ft). The official tallest red alder (1979) stands 32 m (105 ft) tall in Clatsop County, Oregon (USA). The name derives from the bright rusty red color that develops in bruised or scraped bark. The bark is mottled, ashy-gray and smooth, often draped with moss. The leaves are ovate, 7 to 15 centimetres (2.8 to 5.9 in) long, with bluntly serrated edges and a distinct point at the end; the leaf margin is revolute, the very edge being curled under, a diagnostic character which distinguishes it from all other alders. The leaves turn yellow in the autumn before falling. The male flowers are dangling reddish catkins 10 to 15 cm (3.9 to 5.9 in) long in early spring, and female flowers are erect catkins which develop into small, woody, superficially cone-like oval dry fruit 2 to 3 cm (0.79 to 1.18 in) long. The seeds develop between the woody bracts of the 'cones' they are shed in the autumn and winter.

Red Alder - How to Identify Them! || Nerdy About Nature Tree Guide
Common in lowlands and areas of disturbance, Red Alders are a critical species in forest succession here in Cascadia, often being the first to colonize these areas and help convert the soil to a humus and nitrogen rich blend that allows other trees like Western Red Cedar and Douglas Fir to eventually grow and thrive in. Not only that, but they sure are dang pretty! Like this vid?

The importance of Red Alders in areas of disturbance
Ahh Red Alder, such a gorgeous and highly underrated tree here in Cascadia! You typically see Red Alders alongside roadways, rivers, streams or in wetlands like this here because these are all areas of recent or frequent disturbance to the forest ecosystem, and Alders are known as pioneer species, meaning they tend to be the first trees to colonize these areas after a disturbance and they have a crucial role to play here. See, the main limiting factor of growth for many trees is lack of nitrogen which is used to create chlorophyl for photosynthesis, and disturbances like development, landslides, logging, etc tend to strip the soils away from nitrogen fairly quickly, especially in areas where it rains a bunch. Thankfully though, Red Alders have a trick up their sleeves, or their roots rat...

Ahh Red Alder, such a gorgeous and highly underrated tree here in Cascadia!
You typically see Red Alders alongside roadways, rivers, streams or in wetlands like this here because these are all areas of recent or frequent disturbance to the forest ecosystem, and Alders are known as pioneer species, meaning they tend to be the first trees to colonize these areas after a disturbance and they have a crucial role to play here. See, the main limiting factor of growth for many trees is lack of nitrogen which is used to create chlorophyl for photosynthesis, and disturbances like development, landslides, logging, etc tend to strip the soils away from nitrogen fairly quickly, especially in areas where it rains a bunch.
Thankfully though, Red Alders have a trick up their sleeves, or their roots rather, where they work symbiotically with a bacteria known as Frankia that lives in the swollen root nodules of the Alder where it receives home and protection from predators, and in return it synthesizes atmospheric nitrogen from the air into ammonia which the Alder is able to absorb. Typically when deciduous trees lose their leaves in the fall, they extract the all valuable nutrients like chlorophyl to store them through the winter for next spring, which is what causes the changing colors of leaves, but since Alders can get nitrogen so easily, they don’t even bother! They drop their leaves earlier than most other trees when they’re still green and full of chlorophyl, so that when they’re broken down by fungi and insects on the forest floor it creates a rich humus that allows for all others to grow.
So without Alders coming in as first generation successors to an area of recent disturbance, the forest ecosystem wouldn’t be able to grow as rich because the soil would lack the critical nutrients necessary for conifers like western red cedars to grow big and strong in a healthy climax forest. Thanks, Alders!

Red Alders! These are some of the most widely recognized trees you’ll see around our bioregion, easily characterized by their whiteish grey bark that cracks to black as they age, and often has white lichen spots and clusters of moss growing on it. They have a classic elliptical leaf shape that is rigid with teeth along the outside, and they tend to stay green the entire time they’re on the tree with not much colour change into the fall, unlike aspens or cottonwoods. Their flowers look like long droopy worms that are greenish yellow and brown, which turn into small brownish cone clusters after being fertilized.
Now I know what you’re thinking - its called a Red Alder, but there is absolutely no part of it that is red...on the outside. But the layer of cambium between the bark and the heartwood of the tree, when cut open, turns to a dark rusty red. This part of the tree has been used by first nations bands around the area for millennia as a red or orange dye, often used to dye fishnets to make them nearly invisible to fish in the dark murky waters of the area - hence the name ‘red’ alder.

Common in lowlands and areas of disturbance, Red Alders are a critical species in forest succession here in Cascadia, often being the first to colonize these areas and help convert the soil to a humus and nitrogen rich blend that allows other trees like Western Red Cedar and Douglas Fir to eventually grow and thrive in. Not only that, but they sure are dang pretty!

Ahh Red Alder, such a gorgeous and highly underrated tree here in Cascadia!
You typically see Red Alders alongside roadways, rivers, streams or in wetlands like this here because these are all areas of recent or frequent disturbance to the forest ecosystem, and Alders are known as pioneer species, meaning they tend to be the first trees to colonize these areas after a disturbance and they have a crucial role to play here. See, the main limiting factor of growth for many trees is lack of nitrogen which is used to create chlorophyl for photosynthesis, and disturbances like development, landslides, logging, etc tend to strip the soils away from nitrogen fairly quickly, especially in areas where it rains a bunch.
Thankfully though, Red Alders have a trick up their sleeves, or their roots rather, where they work symbiotically with a bacteria known as Frankia that lives in the swollen root nodules of the Alder where it receives home and protection from predators, and in return it synthesizes atmospheric nitrogen from the air into ammonia which the Alder is able to absorb. Typically when deciduous trees lose their leaves in the fall, they extract the all valuable nutrients like chlorophyl to store them through the winter for next spring, which is what causes the changing colors of leaves, but since Alders can get nitrogen so easily, they don’t even bother! They drop their leaves earlier than most other trees when they’re still green and full of chlorophyl, so that when they’re broken down by fungi and insects on the forest floor it creates a rich humus that allows for all others to grow.
So without Alders coming in as first generation successors to an area of recent disturbance, the forest ecosystem wouldn’t be able to grow as rich because the soil would lack the critical nutrients necessary for conifers like western red cedars to grow big and strong in a healthy climax forest. Thanks, Alders!

Theodore Hoss loves trees and teaching people about them and their wondrous ways. In "Tree Talks with Theo" - a new video series for the Mountain School @Home initiative - he introduces people of all ages to forest ecology and a few important species from the crest of the North Cascades range. Get ready to learn all about Alnus rubra aka Red alder in this video shot in October 2022 on the banks of the Skagit River! Theo graduated from the University of Washington with degrees in Environmental Science and Resource Management and in Biology. For his senior project he overhauled the Historic Brockman Memorial Tree Tour. Theo has worked as a wilderness instructor, spent 3 summers working in Yosemite National Park and is now a Mountain School instructor for North Cascades Institute.

Identification and some features. Native to the Pacific Coast, North America.
Alnus rubra
Alnus rubra, the red alder, is a deciduous broadleaf tree native to western North America (Alaska, Yukon, British Columbia, Washington, Oregon, California, Idaho and Montana).
Description
It is the largest species of alder in North America and one of the largest in the world, reaching heights of 20 to 30 m (66 to 98 ft). The official tallest red alder (1979) stands 32 m (105 ft) tall in Clatsop County, Oregon (USA). The name derives from the bright rusty red color that develops in bruised or scraped bark. The bark is mottled, ashy-gray and smooth, often draped with moss. The leaves are ovate, 7 to 15 centimetres (2.8 to 5.9 in) long, with bluntly serrated edges and a distinct point at the end; the leaf margin is revolute, the very edge being curled under, a diagnostic character which distinguishes it from all other alders. The leaves turn yellow in the autumn before falling. The male flowers are dangling reddish catkins 10 to 15 cm (3.9 to 5.9 in) long in early spring, and female flowers are erect catkins which develop into small, woody, superficially cone-like oval dry fruit 2 to 3 cm (0.79 to 1.18 in) long. The seeds develop between the woody bracts of the 'cones' they are shed in the autumn and winter.
