I think it's a sort of Alnus too. But which one? It seems to be very alike Alnus Incana, grey alder.



And a spring photo:



Here grey alder is a quite common tree, and it is mostly used as firewood. During WW2 when there was shortage of petrol, some vehicles were equipped with a gas generator which was filled up with small pieces of greyalder wood. The gas was unclean and had to be separated to remove tar and ashes. But it worked, in a way. One thing is sure: It was not good for the motor.

The pics I post are definitely Alnus Incana. I have a lot of those trees myself, and the pictures are borrowed from an encyclopedia. Do they they match Luc's pics, that's another question. But they are quite similar, I think. May be all Alnus genus are similar to each other? We have two of them here. Both become orange or red in the surface when they are cut down.

Might be a tag alder (Alnus serrulata). Check out Trees: Alnus serrulata
and see for yourself.
Tag alders are the only alders that grow around here; they tend to be near rivers/streams/water and sucker profusely.

disregard my last post- I didn't look at the pictures closely enough.
I would guess speckled alder (Alnus rugosa).
