WHAT DOES GREY ALDER MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Alnus incana

Alnus incana is a species of alder with a wide range across the cooler parts of the Northern Hemisphere. It is a small to medium size tree 15–20 metres tall with smooth grey bark even in old age, its life span being a maximum of 60–100 years. The leaves are matt green, ovoid, 5–11 centimetres long and 4–8 centimetres broad. The flowers are catkins, appearing early in spring before the leaves emerge, the male catkins pendulous and 5–10 centimetres long, the female catkins 1.5 centimetres long and one cm broad when mature in late autumn. The seeds are small, 1–2 millimetres long, and light brown with a narrow encircling wing. The Grey Alder has a shallow root system, and is marked not only by vigorous production of stump suckers, but also by root suckers, especially in the northern parts of its range. The wood resembles that of the black alder, but is somewhat paler and of little value.
