Full Description

 

Elderberry comes into leaf early sometimes in January and is one of the last to shed its leaves.

In rabbit prone areas it would be a good choice because the little rabbits do not like the scent!!

Most famously sought after for the fruits to make good old fashioned delicious Elderberry Wine. Although the flowers and fruits are edible, beware of the leaves and stems which are quite harmful if eaten.

Ideal coastal choice
