Red Alder Trees Form:Bareroot exposed areasRed Alder Trees Red Alder trees, Alnus rubra, is a slender, elegant tree with a neat, cone shaped canopy. Unlike other Alders, it doesn't tend to produce suckers. It's quite decorative in spring, when the bare branches are festooned with long red catkins. It gets its name from these catkins and from its wood, which flushes red when a fresh piece is split and exposed to the air. The green leaves are crinkled and serrated, turning mid yellow in autumn.
