|discussion=<p><i>Alnus alnobetula </i>subsp.<i> crispa</i> grows across much of the continent in the far North; widely disjunct populations occur in the Appalachians in Pennsylvania and on the summit of Roan Mountain on the North Carolina–Tennessee border (R. B. Clarkson 1960; E. T. Wherry 1960).</p><!--
--><p>The Cree used <i>Alnus alnobetula </i>subsp.<i> crispa</i> medicinally for the astringent qualities of the bark and to treat dropsy (D. E. Moerman 1986).</p>
