Elderberry (Sambucus canadensis)

$8.00Price

  • I’m native to New York state and Tompkins county, NY

     

    I'm a shrub

     

    I’m an excellent wildlife shrub that supports birds and pollinators. I’m a host plant of the Cecropia moth, North Americas largest moth.   

     

    My fruits are edible and high in antioxidants, and are often used to make jams, jellies and teas

      

    I will spread by root suckers to form colonies. You can easily prune suckers as they appear in garden settings. 

     

    Warning: all parts of of me are 

    toxic except for my flowers and berries
