Speckled Alder

Description:

Speckled alder refers to a deciduous shrub belonging to the Betulaceae family. Also known as Alnus rugosa, it is native to North America and commonly found in wetlands, riverbanks, and other wet areas. This shrub typically grows to a height of 10-20 feet and is characterized by its oval-shaped leaves, smooth bark, and small, round cones. The speckled alder gets its name from the speckled appearance of its bark, which is smooth with white lenticels.
