Is Alder an Evergreen

Alnus jorullensis, commonly known as Mexican alder, is an evergreen or semi-evergreen alder, native to eastern and southern Mexico, Guatemala and Honduras.

Do alder trees lose their leaves?

They hang from the tree throughout winter like miniature lanterns. Alder leaves are shed while still green. Alders add nitrogen to the soil in the manner of legumes, and decomposing alder leaves improve soil structure.

Are alder trees deciduous?

With a few exceptions, alders are deciduous, and the leaves are alternate, simple, and serrated. The flowers are catkins with elongate male catkins on the same plant as shorter female catkins, often before leaves appear; they are mainly wind-pollinated, but also visited by bees to a small extent.
