Elderberries

Elder may take the form of a shrub or small tree, 10 to 30 feet high. It is found in Europe, in moist, shady places and among underbrush, also cultivated. The bark is light brown near the bottom of the stem, gray-white higher up, somewhat torn and stippled with warts. The leaves are opposite, off-pinnate; the leaflets ovate, acuminate, finely serrate, dark green. In June and July elder sports cymes of white to yellow-white flowers, which develop into berries that turn from green through red-brown to shiny black.
