The Italian alder is a pyramid-shaped tree ranging from 8 to 18 metres in height. Its leaves are one of its greatest assets: heart-shaped, they persist well into winter when most other trees are already bare. Alnus cordata forms male and female flowers, the latter turning into green and then dark brown cones in late summer.
