Elderberry is pollinator and bird magnet. Spring flowers are large and benefical to numerous bees, bettles, and other insects. The dark purple fruit ripes in later summer and is readily and quickly consumed by songbirds. Elderberry grows best in full sun in rich soils but can handle shade and poor soils making it tremendously hardy and durable. This shrub can be pruned back hard annually to keep a smaller compact shape.
