Alder cleaning and maintenance methods - How to identify alder? Advantages and Disadvantages of Alder Planks
Alder is immune to diseases other than fungal diseases. Alders usually reproduce with seeds, and can also be planted with cuttings or roots. The wood is light yellow to reddish brown, with fine texture, durable, and water-soaked. It can be made of furniture, turning products, doors and windows and burned charcoal. Red alder and European alder are important timber trees.
Compared with our country, the price of alder is still the lowest. Alders are ornamental plants. Alder has developed root system and is resistant to moisture. It is often planted by rivers to prevent floods and soil erosion. In areas where plants are over-defortified, alder is the first woody plant to appear, but it can increase the organic matter and nitrogen content of the soil, preparing conditions for trees with longer lifespans.

Alder has a well-developed root system and is resistant to moisture. It is often planted by rivers to prevent floods and soil erosion. In areas where plants are overcut, alder is the first woody plant to appear. Although it has a short lifespan, it can increase the organic matter and nitrogen content of the soil, and prepare conditions for trees with longer lifespans. Methods for identifying alders
Alders are deciduous trees, with a height of up to 40m and a breast diameter of up to 150cm. The leaves are obovate, 3~12cm long, 2~5cm wide, apex acupoint, wedge-shaped at the base, with sparse teeth at the edge; the petiole is slender, 1~3cm long. The male inflorescences are arranged in a racema 2 to 5, drooping, and the leaves are opened first. The fruit order is 2~8, sparsely grown, rectangular or round ovate, 1.5~2.5cm in length, 0.7~1.2cm in diameter. Small nuts are ovate or obovate, 3~4mm long and 2~2.5cm wide; the fruit wings are thick and paper, extremely narrow, and the width is 1/4 of the fruit. The flowering period is 2 to 3 months, and the fruiting period is 11 months.
Alder can reach 25 meters in height, with gray-brown bark and scaly cracked. The buds have short stems and the branches are hairless. The leaves are oblong and have sparse serrated edges. Suitable for low humidity and low shade trees in parks and gardens; or mixed planting forests, landscape forests, protective forests, road greening, and river beach greening, which can solidify soil and protect the bank and improve soil.
Alder cleaning and maintenance methods
Indoor humidity
The indoor humidity of solid wood furniture must be slightly higher than its own moisture content, so consumers should understand the water content parameters of solid wood furniture when purchasing furniture, and refer to the use environment humidity marked on the instructions.
Temperature control
Alder furniture is best not to be close to the heated place. Generally, try to avoid sun exposure, because strong light will cause alder furniture to fade; in addition, heating and lamps that can emit strong heat will also deform the alder furniture and should be kept away as far as possible. Surface protection and cleaning Although alder furniture is durable, its paint surface is very easy to fade. To do this, the furniture must be waxed frequently. You can first use a wet rag dipped in some neutral detergent to gently wipe the surface of the furniture. When wiping, follow the texture of the wood. After cleaning, wipe it with a dry rag or sponge dipped in professional wood wax. When waxing, the center should be used as the origin, first around and then in the middle. However, it is best not to wax too frequently, as 1-2 times a year is best.
