Smooth Alder (Alnus serrulata), also called tag alder, is a multi-stemmed native shrub found along streams, ponds, and wet meadows. It fixes nitrogen in the soil and produces distinctive woody catkins, making it a durable choice for wet-site plantings and streambank stabilization. It blooms in early spring and grows best in full sun to part shade with wet to consistently moist soil.
