Common Elderberry Sambucus canadensis

Commonly called American elderberry, Sambucus canadensis, is native to eastern North America. It is a deciduous shrub that typically grows to 5-12’ tall. Having small lemon-scented white flowers that appear in large flat-topped clusters in May and June, it tolerates medium to wet, well-drained soils in full sun to part shade. The flowers give way to clusters of black elderberry fruits (called drupes) in late summer.
