It is a beautiful and vigorous shrub with tropical looking, pinnately compound leaves up to 12 inches long on gracefully arching branches that support abundant flat-topped clusters of white flowers during summer. The flowers retain their beauty as they turn golden brown and are followed by abundant clusters of dark blue-black berries. Many folks grow the plant for its berries, which are well known for being high in nutrients and antioxidants. The berries are inedible fresh or raw, but that are excellent for use in making juice, jams and jellies, and Elderberry wine. While a vigorous grower, it responds well to pruning for size control or shaping purposes. Easily maintained and trouble free, Elderberry the flowers attract numerous beneficial pollinators and the birds love the berries.
