Alder (Fearn) - March 18 to April 14 (Celtic Calendar) : Wand Woods
Chapter 19
Alder trees (Alnusy betulaceae) are found in northern moderate climates and in South America along the Andes to Argentina. They flourish on the river banks with its roots in the water. The serrated (jagged edges), egg-shaped leaves are arranged alternately. They have woody reddish cones that hang from the trees. The bark is mottled, ashy-gray. Alder trees grow well in nitrate-poor soil. Trees grow to be about 12 to 24 meters tall. There are 30 different species of Alders. As wands, Alder is not commonly harvested as it is very rare. They are useful in non-verbal spell work and are only for the advanced. Its ideal owner is helpful and considerate.
