Description
Blue elderberries are sought after for making wine, jelly, jam and syrup and boast great health benefits. Blue elderberry grows 6-15’ tall and has large, creamy white flower clusters in the spring that develop into abundant clumps of bluish-black berries. It prefers moist, sunny, acidic conditions and does not fare well in alkaline or dry sites. Elderberry is popular for revegetating sites because of its wildlife value, productivity, adaptability, and ease of establishment. It is also widely used for erosion control and riparian restoration. Please note: the berries should be cooked before eaten as they are mildly toxic. The leaves and stems are poisonous and should not be consumed. Grows in Zones 3-6, and reaches 15-20′ quickly over the summer. It is great for soil stabilization and windbreak.
