Green Alder vs Bracted HoneysuckleAlnus crispa Lonicera involucrata 
Green Alder is a cold hardy, native shrub. It is often planted on infertile sites so it can fix nitrogen from the air and improve the soil quality.
Bracted Honeysuckle is a shade loving shrub that is distinguishable from other honeysuckles by its square stem and pointed leaves. Native to most of North America, this honeysuckle is found along swamps, rivers, riparian zones and moist wooded areas. GREEN ALDER QUICK FACTSBRACTED HONEYSUCKLE QUICK FACTS
