Description

Elderberries grow on bushy shrubs that can reach heights as tall as 7 m. In the summer, the tree’s creamy white blossoms give way to clusters of small green berries that later ripen to a bluish-purple hue. It should be noted that before they are fully ripened, the green berries are considered toxic and should not be consumed. Usually ready for harvest in the fall, ripe Elderberries have an appearance of a micro-sized blueberry, with a firm texture and moderately juicy texture. Their flavor is distinctly tart with an extremely astringent finish. They are usually considered to be unpalatable when consumed raw.
