Elderberry
Wild Elderberry (Sambucus canadensis) is a hardy, native shrub known for its clusters of small, fragrant white flowers that give way to dark purple-black berries. These berries, while tart when raw, are packed with antioxidants and nutrients, making them ideal for jams, syrups, wine, and medicinal uses. The plant thrives in moist, well-drained soils and can tolerate a range of growing conditions, making it a versatile addition to native landscapes, permaculture systems, and wildlife gardens. Its ability to attract pollinators and provide shelter and food for birds adds further ecological value, while the plant's rapid growth and resilience make it easy to cultivate with minimal care. Wild Elderberry is an excellent choice for gardeners seeking a natural, productive plant with both edible and ecological benefits.
