Elderberry Tree

Elderberry Trees produce delcious, small, dark purple berries that can be used for jams, syrups, wines, and natural remedies. This fast-growing shrub or small tree typically reaches 6–12 feet in height, producing clusters of fragrant white flowers in late spring that brighten your landscape and attract pollinators. By mid to late summer, these blossoms give way to the rich, dark purple elderberries. Elderberry trees thrive in a wide range of soil types and conditions while providing food and shelter for birds and beneficial insects. Its multi-season interest—from showy flowers to luscious berries—makes it a rewarding addition for gardeners seeking beauty, productivity, and a touch of wildlife-friendly charm.
