Alnus Cordata: Italian Alder

The Italian Alder is native to the southern Apennine Moutains in Campania, Italy. There, it was mainly found on western mountainsides. It can now be commonly found in other European countries, Chile, and New Zealand. It can grow to heights of 80 feet tall, and although deciduous, it has a longer growing season than average, from April to December. The tree also produces valuable reddish-orange wood. It breaks down rapidly when exposed to air, but is durable when immersed in water. The timber is used for turning and carving, for moulding, furniture, panelling and plywood.
