About Elderberry
Large, flat clusters of fragrant white blossoms in early summer, followed by glossy dark purple to black berries in drooping clusters in fall. Elderberries are rich in fiber and antioxidants but must be picked ripe and cooked to avoid gastrointestinal distress. Do not eat the stems, leaves, or roots. Partially self-fruitful. Spreads through root suckers. The species is a plant native to Minnesota.
