Alder Tree

Description

The alder tree is a conical shaped deciduous tree. This tree is known to grow to heights of 80 feet on average, and can live for 60 years.
Alder woodland is generally damp, which provides the perfect environment for fungi, lichens and mosses. Otters make nests in alder roots.
Alders can be found in Tundra and Swamps regions throughout the year. They have gnarled lumpy trunks and uneven branches in what is an otherwise bare landscape.

Obtainment

Difficult. Given the limited resources of the Tundra and Swamp, Alders aren't all that common.
