The American Black Elderberry Bush (Sambucus canadensis) is a fast-growing, deciduous shrub known for its clusters of small, black berries that can be used in jams, jellies, wines, and syrups. This hardy shrub is also admired for its delicate white flowers, which bloom in large, flat-topped clusters in the spring and attract pollinators like bees and butterflies. The American Elderberry Bush is easy to grow and thrives in a wide range of climates, making it an excellent choice for home gardeners and those interested in edible landscaping. Grows to a height of 6-12 feet with a spread of 6-12 feet, usually on the smaller end than larger.
