Red Alder
Red Alder is related to birch. The layers of the bark are red, red-brown, brown, orange, and yellow. When freshly cut, it is white but quickly changes when it is exposed to air, then it becomes yellow or a reddish tinge.
Red alder grows well on burned lands and thrives in areas that have been ravaged by fire, earthquakes, or logging. The climate that red alder live in is mild and humid. The nutrients needed for red alder to live are water, nitrogen, phosphorus, and it needs to be moist. It grows best in damaged soil.
Red alder reproduces by seeds and is coniferous.
