Green Alder (Alnus viridis)


The flowers are catkins, appearing late in spring after the leaves emerge (unlike other alders which flower before leafing out); the male catkins are pendulous, 4-8 cm long, the female catkins 1 cm long and cm broad when mature in late autumn, in clusters of 3-10 on a branched stem.
