Sambucus pubens¿¿
20 seeds¿¿
"American red elderberry"
Deciduous shrub growing 4m (13 feet) high.
Sun to semi-shade.
Hardy to zones 4-7
Red elderberry forms fluffy ivory flower spikes in spring followed by bright red berries in summertime.
It suckers from its roots to form a thicket, and is dispersed by birds that eat the berries and spread the seed. When it comes to human consumption, the fruits are not as palatable as other elderberries and even contain small amounts of compounds that cause gastrointestinal pain, though there are reports of the red elderberries being used in wine making and cooked jam.
In mid-spring the branch tips bear fluffy, fragrant clusters of tiny ivory flowers that attract bees and butterflies. Attractive clusters of small red berries are produced by midsummer. These are highly attractive to a whole host of wild birds.¿¿
Grow red elderberry in full sun to partial shade in any soil that is fertile but well-drained. Avoid soils that flood or have standing water and be aware this tree will sprout up in many areas of a landscape. It is often seen in mixed woodlands,abandoned lots or along fencelines. Interested gardeners may choose to plant it in informal, naturalistic landscapes designed to appeal to wildlife.
Germination: stratify seed by giving it 2 months warmth, followed by 2 months cold stratification.
