It's good to see large specimens of small trees gettin' some love ;).  Most people would walk by that tree and not give it a second thought.

Is the pith always triangular shaped?

Seems to be a trait of most alders, even red alder of the NW coast and European alder. Says fast growing, vigourous twigs of red alder are often triangular shaped in the Dendro Text. I only learned this recently by reading and then going to see for myself on local bushes.
