You are bidding on about 25 GREEN ALDER SEEDS - Alnus viridis subsp. crispa .
It is commonly known as Sitka Alder, Mountain Alder, and also Wavyleaf Alder.
One of the most versatile, shade-tolerant, and widespread alder species in North America, green alder inhabits a variety of habitats from sea-level to over 6,000 feet (2,000 m) elevation.
It is a large shrub or small tree 3–12 metres (10–39+1⁄2 ft) tall with smooth grey bark even in old age.
The wood is used to smoke fish and provide fuel. Deer and moose seek cover in its dense thickets, while many bird species feed on the catkins and seeds. The species is valuable for reclaiming lands following a fire, since it is fire-resistant, sprouts easily, and disperses readily by seed.
