About Elderberry
Elderberries are a fast-growing native shrub producing massive clusters of dark berries used for immune-boosting syrup, wine, and jam. Caution: raw berries and all other plant parts are toxic — always cook before consuming.
Plant two different varieties for cross-pollination (Adams and Nova are popular pairs). Grows fast — 6-12 feet in two years. Tolerates wet soil better than most shrubs. Cut back hard in early spring. Cook all berries before eating.
