A strong contender for difficult-to-grow areas like wetlands or ditches, it's also capable of forming robust hedges with its propensity for sending out new suckers each year. Hardier than most plants of similar stature, this hearty plant rarely exceeds 13 feet! The flower clusters are larger, the bark lighter, and fruit tends to be sweeter. Recent studies on American Black Elderberry reveal that it may hold a higher concentration of anthocyanins and polyphenols than previously believed, substances known to contribute greatly to the plant's health benefits.

With its ability to reach heights of up to thirty feet, the European Elder is an impressive deciduous shrub that has become a beloved part of hedgerows in Ireland and England. It will grow in the US, with flower clusters and fruit being smaller than the american counterpart.
