The Golden Alder tree (''Alnus aurum''), closely related to the Common Alder, is renowned for its distinctive golden-hued catkins and wood. Its distribution mirrors that of the Common Alder, thriving in similar soil conditions. Due to its unique aesthetic properties, the Golden Alder has been heavily exploited, resulting in its near-extinction. Today, it is protected by law, and conservation efforts are in place to preserve the remaining populations. Its rarity has limited extensive study, but it holds significant potential in magical applications. | The Golden Alder tree (''Alnus aurum''), closely related to the Common Alder, is renowned for its distinctive golden-hued catkins and wood.
