Does this mean that all the trees which looked like elms (to me) in that vicinity are black alder? They all looked alike. Is another look required. Black alder has a symbiotic relationship with the bacterium Frankia alni, which forms nodules on the tree's roots. Will have another look.

Not necessarily their are elms in the vicinity - Black alder leaves are stickyish
