Sambucus canadensis, commonly known as American elderberry, is a fast-growing deciduous shrub native to North America. It produces clusters of delicate, creamy-white flowers in early summer, followed by deep purple to black berries that ripen in late summer to early fall. The shrub’s arching branches and lush green foliage make it an attractive addition to landscapes, while its ability to thrive in a variety of soils and climates makes it a resilient choice for gardeners. Often found along riverbanks, woodlands, and meadows, American elderberry is valued for both its ornamental beauty and its role in supporting local wildlife.
The small, dark berries are highly sought after for their culinary versatility. They are commonly used to create jams, syrups, pies, and even fermented into wines and cordials. The flowers, with their light, floral aroma, can be infused into beverages, made into fritters, or used as a garnish for desserts. Though the raw berries have a tart and slightly astringent taste, cooking or processing them enhances their natural sweetness. Whether grown for its decorative appeal or its flavorful harvest, Sambucus canadensis remains a beloved and functional shrub in gardens and wild landscapes alike.
