A popular tree amongst foragers, both the berries and the flowers can be used to make delicious treats. Avoid the berries when they're unripe though and don't eat any green from the tree as this can be toxic when ingested.

The clusters of sweet-smelling, frothy white flowers are easily recognisable and will appear on the tree in Spring. Elderflowers are often used to for infusions and can be used to make syrups, cordials and even champagne.

Ripe elderberries are very dark in colour and grow in large bunches on the tree. They'll be ready for the picking around August time and are often used for making delicious jams and wines. When the berries are fermented you can make delicious wine. If you like the thought of making your own homemade wine, check out our merryweather damson tree to make delicious damson wine.
