Alnus glutinosa - Black alder

Description and Uses

Alnus glutinosa (Black alder) is a temperate tree from North West Europe . It is mainly grown for its conservation crops , which have a short shelf life. The crop is harvested by total removing. It starts flowering after 0 - 0 years. The yield will be {missing data}, but in its top season there will be a yield of {missing data}. Other crop types include; {missing data} . The {missing data} is used as inedible . The {missing data} is used as " {missing data} " with {missing data} ({missing data} - {missing data}) as its significant phytochemical. There is {missing data} extracted by {missing data} from the tree's {missing data} yielding {missing data} - {missing data} oil. The tree's wood is called {missing data} and has a density of 0 - 0 kg/m³. Regarding firewood production the tree's growing speed is {missing data}, it's energetic value is 0 ckal/kg and the wood's drying speed is {missing data}. After 0 years the tree can be totally removed as it reached its commercial and ecological goal. Alnus glutinosa has a lifespan of 0 years.

Environmental limitations

The tree is 15 meters tall with a crown of 9 meters wide. The tree prefers a planting distance of 0 cm and a row distance of 0 cm. It is very slow growing and {missing data}. Alnus glutinosa has a shallow root-system and it has symbiotic associations with the fungi (endo and ecto mycorrhiza). It is able to fix nitrogen moderately with "Enterobacteriaceae bacteria.
