Common Elderberry

This is a loose, graceful, deciduous shrub grows to 12 ft. in height. Prune heavily in winter to maintain shape. Elderberry is a fast grower and aggressive competitor with weeds and herbaceous species. Individual plants are very short-lived; however, root masses produce new shoots. Cutting the whole bush to the ground every other year may be necessary to keep the bushes in check. Attracts bees, butterflies and birds.
