Description
This image displays branches and foliage of a Common Alder tree, not an actual bonsai specimen. Common Alder is a deciduous broadleaf tree known for its serrated leaves and small, cone-like fruits. While the image itself is not a bonsai, the species is suitable for bonsai cultivation, often styled in an informal-upright manner due to its natural growth habit.
