Sambucus canadensis
The American Elderberry (Sambucus canadensis) is a fast-growing deciduous shrub native to North America, commonly found in wetlands, along streams, and in woodlands. It is known for its clusters of fragrant white flowers that bloom in late spring to early summer, followed by small, dark purple to black berries in late summer. The berries and flowers are widely used in making jams, jellies, syrups, and herbal remedies. American elderberry is a valuable plant for wildlife, providing food for birds and pollinators, and it thrives in moist, well-drained soils, making it a popular choice for landscaping and ecological restoration.
