Introducing Cercocarpus montanus, also known as Alderleaf Mountain Mahogany or Mountain Mahogany. This shrub or small tree, native to the Rocky Mountains of North America, is known for its thin, smooth bark and long lifespan. While often browsed by elk and deer, it can reach up to 20 feet tall. Cercocarpus montanus is tolerant of maritime exposure and can be grown as a seaside hedge. Its stems have been used as rough brooms, and it yields a red to brown dye from its root bark. The leaves and bark have also been used for medicinal purposes. As a fuel, its hard and brittle wood is valuable, and it's occasionally used for domestic and industrial small articles. Consider adding the beautiful and functional Cercocarpus montanus to your garden today.
