Hi Dan and Native Gardener: The small tree came from a cutting started by a local nursery. I had to discipline myself to only pick a few flowers, so I would have plenty of berries.

I also make a syrup with the berries, which you can find under "Respect your Elders." It's great during cold season.

Dan, your different elder trees sound amazing. I bet it's lovely right about now. Native Gardener, thanks for stopping by.

Hi Teresa,

I still have the hardest time thinking about harvesting elder flowers - I feel like I'm eliminating the many benefits of the fruit.

We are now growing 5 of the native Elderberry (sambucus cerulea) and another 6 plants of the black, European varieties (for healthful syrup production). Will add a few more black varieties in upcoming years.

Those fritters *do* make my mouth water. ;-)

Theresa, that looks delicious! I don't usually fry things but those might be the exception. Was your elderberry tree a volunteer, or did you take a cutting? I believe I have elderberry here..
