It provides between 120 to 290 pounds of nitrogen per acre. The catkins of some species of alder are ostensibly edible. The bark contains anti inflammatory properties, and some Native American cultures used Red Alder bark to treat poison oak and other skin irritants. The Blackfoot have traditionally use concoctions that included Alder bark to treat lymphatic disorders and even tuberculosis, it even has the power to fight various tumors!

It’s actually called Cedrela and it’s really a Mahogany from South/Central America masquerading as a Cedar from Spain. Spanish Cedar is THE wood for making cigar boxes as well as being the traditional wood used for the neck of a classical style guitar.
