Grey alder is a small to medium sized, short-lived deciduous tree either a single trunk or frequently found multi-stemmed. It is found all across the northern hemisphere and is native to large areas of northern and central Europe.

Besides being used for firewood, the wood of Grey Alder has low commercial value and is rarely used for carpentry and turning. However, due to its rapid growth, the species is potentially beneficial for biomass production. With its ability to quickly regenerate and colonize disturbed areas, it has also proven useful in reforestation projects. As with other alders, the Grey Alder is able to fix nitrogen, rendering it useful for improving soil conditions in polluted or previously industrial areas. It is a useful pioneer species and will grow on drier sites than the Common Alder (alnus glutinosa)


Grey alder prefers moist conditions and mainly appears in riparian areas, such as stream and lake banks and bogs. However, the tree is tolerant to various types of soils, moistures and acidities and is even found in high elevations.
