Leaf shapes

Alder

 
 
An alder leaf is
almost round.
 

Alder leaves change
colour in autumn and
fall off the tree
(deciduous tree).

     
 
Alder trees grow near the stream at Woodgate Valley.
 
In autumn there are
alder cones on the tree.
There are seeds inside,
which can grow into a new
alder tree.
     
   
Wood from alder trees
can be used to make
pencils and other things.
